I think that shows the brilliance of the series, not diminishes it. Rowling doesn't take the easy road when there is a more interesting life lesson to be learned. The entire series throws in bits about injustice (the house elves, goblins, Sirius, Kreacher, Severus) and how "might doesn't equal right". To have Voldemort fall because of his unwillingness to relent from that premise was a master stroke.
