I never found any great fun in championing the obvious hero. He
already has tons of fans, and he's the author's favourite anyway. So
ever since I was a very little girl, I found myself attracted to the
underdog, and quite often repelled by the
so-obvious-hero-who-has-all-the-qualities. The underdog is the one who
has the real choice : remain an underdog or reach for the glory. The
hero, as you said concerning Harry, often has little choice but to be
a hero. Booooring. Unless he starts as an underdog (a real one, not
like Harry, who was a Prophesied Hero in disguise).

I just recently saw the Lord of the Rings movie and thought that the 
character of Sam was more the "true" hero. The other character, the 
lead, would have never made it to the end if it wasn't for the 
loyalty and bravery of his best friend.

That's my opinion!!!
