In the tower scene in the last book, Draco was, at first, the only one up there with Dumbledore and an invisible Harry Potter. When Harry and Dumbledore hear someone running up the stairs, Dumbledore immobilizes Harry. Draco enters and, because Dumbledore had just cast a spell, had a split-second advantage. He was able to use the disarming spell on Dumbledore, thus leaving Dumbledore without a wand.

So even though Snape killed him, Draco and his disarming spell are what bested Dumbledore in the first place, making him the true holder of the Elder Wand. Until Harry bested him in Malfoy Manor, at least.

Yeah...forgive me if that's not exactly how it worked, but I think that's how I read it.
