I actually like the epic story applied to normal characters. To me, it's part and parcel of the wizarding world - just like there is magic among us Muggles without our knowing it, there can be true heroism in a way that does not contradict our individual faults.
For the feet of clay - Albus might be dead, but his shadow is still taller than Harry's. To vanquish Voldemort where Dumbledore has failed, he needs to rise higher than his mentor; since she chose not to give him teh superpowahs, she had to make a lesser man of the Headmaster... can't that be read in a symbolic light?
