Go ahead and read the rest of my plot, I would say Harry has the best possible win here beyond overthrowing the entire ministry and remaking the government in his image. At least from Harry's perspective since he doesn't know that the real best win would be exposing and vanquishing Quirrelmort.

I'm not saying your plot is bad, it might be the best possible. (Well, I personally don't think so, but I'm not arguing for or against it in this comment.) I'm just pointing out why I think people try so hard to come up with plots that are wildly more improbable than even yours, but have better endings.
