Why would anyone take Harry's Holly and Phoenix Feather wand now?

Voldemort is gone and he won't be coming back and the Death Eaters are gone as well.

So if Harry Potter lives a quiet life and dies undefeated, then the Elder wand will stay in Dumbledore's tomb and Harry will have been the last true master of it.

Even if someone did manage to disarm Harry of his Holly and Phoenix Feather wand, the Elder wand is in Dumbledore's tomb and whoever disarmed Harry would have to know where it was and know that they were the true master of it to want to go looking for it.

I got the impression that the fate of the Elder wand was going to be a secret among Harry and his clique.

Here's another hole that has never been answered to my satisfaction.

In Book 5, Harry saw the Thestrals for the first time (because he witnessed the death of Cedrick Diggory).  Now, as a child he'd witnessed the deaths of his parents.  Other kids who'd lost parents to Voldemort (e.g. Luna - her mom died, I think) had seen the Thestrals.  Why not Harry?

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

This isn't a storyline hole, but it is my 15 - 20 minute version of the Carrows.

I had to post it in a Harry Potter thread.
