But Malfoy did not "win" Dumbledore's wand, and Harry didn't "win" Malfoy's wand, either. Ollivander's discussion of wandlore, and the connection between wizard and wands, makes it sound like they don't really understand what makes a person the "master" of the Elder Wand.
Ollivander made it clear taht disarming someone made the wand 'yours'. So Malfoy did 'win' it by the standards of what transfers wand 'ownership'.

In HBP, Draco disarms Dumbledore, so that made him the owner of the wand--then Harry disarmed Draco. By following Ollivander's line of explanation--that made Harry the master of the wand.
