I don't think it was any accident, I think Harry became Master of
the wand in a way similar to the way all the other wizards over the
centuries became Master of the Elder Wand. A direct assault on the old
Master is imposable; you must come at him from the side. Harry did
what all the others did.

Remedial potions! The man was top of his class!

What potential employer would be CRAZY enough to be interested
in the NEWT scores of the man who defeated Voldemort in a duel?
At that point in the Wizard World Harry would not need a
recommendation from the NEWT testing organization; rather
the NEWT organization would need a recommendation from Harry

If Einstein got a low score on a IQ test it would not discredit
Einstein, it would discredit the idea of IQ tests, or at least
that IQ test.

There is not a speck of evidence that Dumbledore never used an
Unforgivable, What we do know is that as a young man he tried to use a
lethal curse of some kind, something that Harry never did. And Even
Dumbledore says that Harry is the better man and can be better trusted
with power.
