It's true that Harry doesn't want power and doesn't think he could handle it well, but on that second point Harry is clearly wrong. As Dumbledore says in book 7 page 718:
"It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well."
