Nuomi please. Let us NOT compare the Dark Lord with Yuvi. There is no comparison. And anyways the Dark Lord's death is a lot more deep than accidental killing.
Voldemort was killed because Harry and his friends destroyed all his Horcrucxes. With Horcrucxes intact not even the killing curse could have killed him but without them, Voldemort could have been killed by most normal sword as well. Just saying. He did not have any powers that made it impossible to kill him. He relied solely on the Horcrucxes. No doubts he was a formidable opponent and it would have been difficult to kill him, but not impossible. He did not lose his brains with the Horcrucxes but still...
And when the final battle happened, he was killed by a rebounding curse. That was f**king genius. It was symbolic of how despite being the most powerful wizard, he had failed to learn from his past mistakes. How had failed to understand the very basics of the wizarding world.
The wand chooses the wizard. It's loyalty cannot be forced. The Dark Lord tried to force the wand's loyalty. Holding the wand and using it doesn't mean the wand is loyal to you. Harry told him that the wand had passed on it's loyalty to Draco, who never knew that he was the rightful owner of such a powerful magical object.
The wand's loyalty passed on to Harry in the Malfoy Manor, in, not a duel but a hand to hand combat or rather a childish rolling on the floor kind of fight between Harry and Draco when Harry wrestled Draco's wand from him.
Despite knowing that the wand that he held was rightfully Harry's, Voldemort went ahead and cast the most deadly curse. He had yet again failed to understand the basics of the wandlore. And that's why he died. He failed to learn from his mistakes. It was his ignocaign that killed him.
That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend. Of house-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty, and innocence, Voldemort knows and understands nothing.
Nothing. That they all have a power beyond his own, a power beyond the reach of any magic is a truth he has never grasped."
This quote sums up the Dark Lord and his way of looking at things. He never unseunders loyalty and hence he did not understand that his wand would never betray it's rightful owner.
