IMO if you are no Dante/Beethoven/Homer, you're at the very least their equivalent in the HP fanfic world, if not re: all of fanfic.
Your wizard USA is original and fun to read about - that's how the series got a great start. LB is definitely more than just a rehash of TC - yeah, you can't claim you didn't do this aspect better than JKR. The whole series is way darker than HP - but done well. Alex really is going through hell and back.
Not to mention the amount of work you've put into this. If there are other HP fanfic writers who managed to write six or seven full novels of this quality, I don't know them (yet?). Without getting to the point where it's too much, when even an avid reader like me would say "You want me to read the equivalent of how many thousand print pages? C'mon, I don't like fiction that much." (Looking at "Worm" here.)
Long story short: You have a good reason to be proud of this.
