I do not believe that the Jews at the time of Purim saw the miracle 
as ordinary at all.  It was clear in the end that HaShem saved the 
Jews through the efforts of Esther and Mordechai.

The megilla tells us  more than once about how Haman was defeated, 
and how Mordechai became second to the king.  I am sure that all Jews 
recognized these events as extraordinary and miraculous.
