My Harry Potter headcanon:

- This is why a child of relatively-competent professional Muggles (the Grangers, dentists) becomes an intellectual force of nature who singlehandedly changes the course of history in her teens

- Of the incompetent wizard adults, Hagrid is by far the least competent. The most competent is actually Madam Pomfrey, who is maybe the only adult in any position of authority who consistently executes her job correctly.
- The main sides in the Second Wizarding War (1995-1998) are so bereft of strategic leadership that they largely accomplish each others' objectives, not their own. Example: Harry delivers himself to Voldemort accidentally in both 1995 and 1996, resulting in casualties both times.
