The EW is just more easily swayed to a different master. The wand doesn't always decide to leave you. Even when other people have gained the allegiance of someone else's wand (when Harry had Draco's original wand), it didn't work perfectly for him. "The wand chooses the wizard", and if during a duel, your wand decides to stay with you, that's the wand's choice. The EW goes with the person who has the most power it's not about individual respect/loyalty, like a normal wand would. Your own personal wand won't necessarily just leave you, because it has stronger ties to you than the Elder Wand does.


Harry himself has been disarmed more times than I can remember (once caught of guard by Neville, I think) and his phoenix-feather wand served him the same way as it always did, right up until Book 7, when it got snapped in half. The Trio, Dumbledore's Army, and the members of the dueling club in Book 2 have been disarming each other for years, and never before have their wands changed allegiance. My biggest problem is the whole "allegiance of wands" bit that allowed Harry to defeat Voldemort. Does anyone else agree that Deathly Hallows was purely driven by the Magical Phlebotinum Ass Pull? I mean really.Please check JK's FAQs before asking a question that may have already been answered.
