Zephrys' Battlecry allows the player to choose a card from the Basic or Classic set to add to their hand from a selection of three cards, from any class. The three cards offered are based on what is best for the current gameplay situation, as calculated by an internal algorithm.[1]
Zephrys' algorithm will consider both players' board state, your available mana after playing Zephrys, your available mana for the next turn, both players' health totals (health and armor), both players' classes, both players' deck sizes, and how many cards are in your hand and in your opponent's hand.[2][3][4] Zephrys also considers the number of Secrets the opponent has, and the opponent's weapon if they have one equipped.[3] Zephrys also considers both players' Basic and Upgraded Hero Powers, but not most other hero powers.[4]
Zephrys will only use "public" information in selecting his card offerings, as detailed above; thus, he will not see or use "private" information, such as what cards are in your hand.[2][5]"

Believe in potential; the multiverse blesses some beings with extraordinary traits, with the potential to do—to be—great things.
That's partially (or mostly) true - as mentioned in your quote:

So while it doesn't take which specific cards are in your hand into consideration, it does indeed consider hand sizes. But as mentioned, in particular, it won't take into account a Shadowstep in your hand since it only has knowledge that an observer of the board state has (hence knowing hand size).
Somehow Zephyr doesn't give mass disspell when I'm playing as a Warlock and my enemy had many buffed minions. It should be available right?
And I also had a situation where my enemy had 3 secrets and 6 hp. And Zephyr didn't offer me something to remove the secrets but instead of that he gave me bloodlust, a fireball and another dmg spell... The enemy had iceblock and I couldn't kill him with the fireball. I was really looking for an anti secret card...
Hmm
I could have gotten two Savage Roars using my Shadowstep in hand but Zephyrs can't see that?
I thought it looks at board and my hand?
Nope. Zephrys the Great does not take your hand into consideration.

Indeed, i was not that clear in my statement.

Sorry if that sounded pedantic. Wasn't intended that way - just wanted to make sure that the solution was clear for the OP.
Thanks for the answer ;-)
Not at all. We all should be careful on what answers we give because we might mislead people if we do not state them correctly.

On the reveal stream a dev said that Zephyrs offers no cards that could bounce him back to your hand
