I think that was intentional. It compliments Harry's POV. He grew up in boring everyday routine suburbia with unkind relatives who didn't let him have much fun. Harry constantly wonders why people think he's so special (at least in the first 3-4 books, in the later films Harry does pick up an ego). He definitely found everyone else in the magical world more interesting (again, at least in the early books).

I think Harry works as your typical "special One but doesn't know it until their hero's journey comes along more" book lead. Especially for a kids' books series with a male protagonist.
They're a little boring but likable and easy to root for. Surrounded by more interesting characters, either to compliment his good qualities (Ron and Hermione) or to remind the reader of worse people (Draco and Snape).

Even as a teen/YA reading HP, I always found the adults more interesting as well! I wanted more Lupin. My favorite characters are Arthur and Molly Weasley. Snape is a "love to hate him" character. I loved how much bigger the world felt in book 4.
