I do see what you mean - yet, hasn't Harry been even unhappier, and in much more active danger at times, in the Wizarding World? I just have an awful feeling he's not going to survive at all -
Oh, and the grudge-holding Voldemort supporters and Dumbledore's leadership? What did he actually do that was so helpful in Voldwar I? Sirius still got shipped to Azkaban for 12 years; the Longbottoms still got tortured into insanity, and, in the course of the books, Stan Shunpike still got thrown into prison as well. I love Dumbledore, but he's not perfect and he certainly isn't all-powerful. It does seem destroying Voldemort won't solve the Wizarding World's problems; it's pretty hard to even guess what would!
