I think you may be gilding the lily a bit, here.

For 'deep wisdom' I would substitute 'common sense',
for 'selfless attitude' I would substitute 'reasonably objective',
for 'deep feeling' and 'calm exterior' I would substitute with 'emotional
burnout' and 'resignation'.

He looks good compared to say, Sirius or Lockhart, but that is not a
sufficient reason to make him Headmaster of Hogwarts.

He seems to know and accept exactly what his situation is, and even if
it is not his fault, he doesn't whine about it. Even if the post were offered
to him, I don't think he would accept it. Common sense would prevail.
