Before he turned 18, he survived Voldemort's killing curse, stopped him from stealing the sorcerers stone, killed a basilisk, cast an advanced patronus, won the triwizard tournament, was able to fight off the Imperius Curse, dominated Quidditch, taught a group of teenagers how to fight, destroyed a bunch of horcruxes, survived another one of Voldemort's killing curses, became the owner of all three deathly hallows, and killed Voldemort.
I mean it's a book. I can write a book about a wizard doing way more badass stuff. How many dragons or women did Harry slay? Was the chick he ended up with a total smoke? Did Harry actual ever overpower anyone himself?
Nah to all of those. My idea of a badass wizard is someone who takes the hot chick at his school down, kills a couple dragons and also just kills the main enemy because he grows a pair and used Avada Kedavra. I mean he gets help in literally every battle and never does anything on his own.
I love the Harry Potter books, I've read the series probably a total 4-5 times, but Harry is a badass for someone who is like 13-years-old. For someone who is so famous there had to have been someone at Hogwarts or in Europe for that matter in the wizarding world hotter than Ginny.

Yeah, I know. I was just listing stuff out of boredom. I realize he didn't actually do it all alone.

Harry was a very smart person, and an incredible problem solver.
Add that to his natural abilities in magic, and yes, harry was well on his way to being a great wizard by the end of book 7.
The things that made people great wizards in the books weren't natural talent but the same things that make people great in any other line of work.
I do however wish he had been forced to use the unforgivable curses to defeat Voldemort. Being able to do it all without casting an intentional killing curse is a pretty massive cop-out IMO.
