This has been on my mind...

I don't know if anyone has already asked this, but something has been on my mind lately.

When Harry saw the vision of the young Grindelwald stealing the Elder Wand, was it before or after he met Dumbledore? If it was before, then when he was defeated by Dumbledore he may not have been in possession of the wand as Dumbledore may have taken it from him during the battle that killed Ariana. Is this important or is it just me going mad?

good point.. I think it was after his meeting with dumbledore though...
Who killed Ariana we will never know...any of them could have done it.. Anything might have happened there..

after he met Dumbledore... when he was with DD he started to think about all those mad things, didnt he?

i think after coz Dumbledore told harry the truth when they met at the moment when voldy suppose to kill him, any way any one of them could killed ariana that's why he felt gulty all his life!

Good point for thought...

My understanding was that it was after. Then of course, eventually thereafter, Grindlewald & Dumbledore began planning their futures w/ the hallows being the focal point of their plans.....

I'm pretty sure it was after he'd met Dumbledore, I think it was actually after Arianna died...
