I would add a reason for Harry to have the wand.
Like, instead of, "You will not raise your wand", "You will only raise your wand when and how I permit it. Do not demonstrate a spell unless ordered."
That would imply that Voldemort was open to the possibility that Harry might demonstrate something, which would require arming him.
Your phrasing makes it also look like a plausible mistake for someone in a new situation with little time to consider things.
I'm not sure what you mean here.
Edited phrasing to make it more clear....
I was aiming for it to be a mistake that someone could make even in a relatively familiar situation with ample time to consider.
