"Voldemort was stupid with letting Harry keep his wand"

Count me as guilty. He should have taken the wand, particularly when having a discussion to extract extra super powers that he suspects Harry to have.

Preserving the Death Eater's heads isn't hindsight bias, it's just silly. The world is full of people dying who Harry could save much easier than warm headless corpses.
