The school year format really imposes odd pacing requirements, I think, and that may have sometning to do with that--it's hard to do an entire school year of just the growing tension.
I wonder if the loyalty theme might run counter to the structure you identify--Harry wins not because he conquers his own self-doubts about his nature, but because he defends Dumbledore.
