Lord Voldemort believes that Snape is the true master of the Elder Wand because Snape killed Dumbledore. In order to gain the wand's allegiance, he kills Snape. However, Draco Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore before that, so Snape had never been the true master.

∙ 11y agoA wand will only truly work if it chooses the wizard or was won in a battle. Lord Voldemort was using the Elder wand and believed that Severus Snape was the master of it as he had defeated it's previous owner (Albus Dumbledore). The wand wasn't working properly for Voldemort, and so he killed Severus so he could become the master.
Little did Voldemort know, Draco Malfoy was actually the master of the wand as he was the one to disarm Dumbledore, who had previously told Snape to kill him when the time came.

What part does Severus Snape play in defeating lord voldomort?
He was a spy for the Light side. He wanted to protect Harry's mother Lily from Voldemort because he was in love with her. When Voldemort killed Lily, he swore to Dumbledore that he would protect Harry. Dumbledore and Snape later realized that Harry had to die in order to kill Voldemort, because a piece of Voldemort was inside Harry. Voldemort had to be the one who killed Harry. Snape had to conceal this fact from everyone, especially Voldemort so that when Voldemort killed Harry, he would weaken himself without knowing it. Because of his love for Lily, Snape was able to conceal this information right up to his death.

Did Snape serve only Lord Voldemort?
Yes and No. Right before the fall of the Potters and Voldemort, Snape switched to being in the service of Dumbledore. After Voldemort fell, Snape was used by Dumbledore to keep a lookout in case of Voldemort's return, as well as to keep an eye on the remaining Death Eaters not in jail. Once Voldemort returned, Dumbledore had Snape serve Voldemort, yet he was to rely the info back to Dumbledore. Snape being a servant of Dumbledore is very easy to miss in the books and the movies. In the Half Blood Prince, when Snape kills Dumbledore, it was due to the fact the Dumbledore had arranged for Snape to kill him, if Harry was to kill Voldemort.
