It was a shared feat, but in no way was Hope irrelevant. Irrelevant in that she got very limited panel time considering the whole thing was about her, but she was the intended Phoenix Host. Her training in K'un L'un allowed her to push back Dark Phoenix Scott long enough to continue preparations, and her Cosmic Power(Phoenix Force) combined with Wanda's...whatever the f*ck she does made it so mutants could be born/power activated again.
Without her, none of that would have happened.
I know what her powers are. But they go back and forth and get revamped and retconned and re-explained so much, it's anybodies guess just what she does or how she does it.
And no, things weren't put back to before House of M.
Together Hope and Wanda basically jumpstarted the X-Gene in people already alive and new mutants started manifesting their powers all over the world. 4 have been shown so far I believe.
A Chinese girl with rock-like skin and wings, a Puerto Rican(I think) girl who turns into a wereshark, a black kid who can heal people even from death, and a girl who can stop time in at least a one block radius.
And Wanda brought Rictor's powers back, so maybe de-powered mutants will start getting powers back as well.
