I doubt you are missing anything, Luke.  As much as I love PS/SS, the 
ending is a classic "deus ex machina."  Albus Dumbledore suddenly 
turns up and saves the day.  No explanation as to how he arrived at 
his decision and no explanation as to how Quirrell/Voldemort was 
defeated.  You might as well have lowered him down in a basket tied
to ropes, a la Aristophanes.  So Heywood is 100% correct.  Perhaps he 
is referring in the EW interview to there being some footage in the
movie depicting  how Dumbledore defeats Voldemort, and not just have 
Harry wake up like Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" to find that 
everything has turned out well.
