My best friend tore his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and had to have
surgery on it.? He is considered to be permanently disabled now - roughly
30% loss of mobility, if I remember correctly.
?
That scene was completely believable.? It's up to the writer to decide
what magic can do - Moody has a false leg and false eye - but it's completely
believable that the magical 'tech' has improved enough to now allow regeneration
- if the author wants it that way.? (Canon example: Wolfsbane potion didn't
exist when Remus was in school, but did by the time he returned as a
teacher.)

Like
any other severe physical injury, you never return to 100% again.
Harry's
injury to his leg and its resultant healing has followed a
logical course
of physical therapy and a realistic healing.
It is not uncommon to
experience long lasting effects after a
traumatic injury has healed.
Harry's lack of progress is not a
reflection of something Dumbledore is
doing and more a reflection on
the fact that the extent of the injury will
prevent him from
recovering 100% use of that leg again.
