Harry has never been portrayed as the intellectual type.

Even ignoring that most of the "studious nerds" are shoved into Ravenclaw, and the Sorting Hat telling him he would have ended up in up in Slytherin if he didn't oppose the idea so strongly, Harry is a guy of average (to below average) intelligence ruled by his emotions, that's more concerned about fun, and sports than reading or studying.

You claim someone in Harry's position would likely work hard to better himself, but he was experiencing the world of magic just fine without working for it. If anything, the world of magic keeps coming for him because of his relation to Voldemort.

The idea that someone coming from a poor living environment world work extra hard to escape it isn't true anyway, but this wasn't even necessary because Harry was wealthy from his dead family's inheritance money.
