I can see where you are coming from, especially because things Rowling has said in interviews indicate she thinks she wrote things she just didn't write. The most egregious examples are Slughorn leading the Slytherins into battle against Voldemort (that's just not in the book), and the redemption of Severus Snape, which isn't in the book, ether. She doesn't really seem to know what she actually wrote. And, heaven knows, she dropped the ball on house unity, the horcruxes, the power of love, and many other things that mattered to many of her readers. So I don't think you're wrong.
Still, she did say she intended to subvert the fantasy genre, and she did get me to hate fantasy, however briefly. That's an achievement, of sorts. It's not one I particularly like, but it is an achievement.
