And Einstein was only smart because he had good genes and grew up in a
good environment. Does that fact make Einstein less smart?

Unlike most people Harry is at his best when he is under extreme
stress. It's one thing to produce a Patronus in a calm classroom, but
it's quite another to produce one powerful enough to stop a thousand
hideous Dementors when they're trying to suck out your soul. Harry
doesn't panic.

I think easily is precisely the correct word. Harry overcame the
Imperious Curse in just a few minutes while other very powerful
wizards struggled with it their entire lives.

No, I'm talking about what happened before that. Harry wanted those
beads of light to go in one direction and the most powerful dark
wizard of all time wanted them to go in the opposite direction. Harry
won. If I were Voldemort I'd be humiliated that I'd been out muscled
by a 14 year old boy.
