Frankly, what you just wrote is what I want to hear in an interview. That you were first and the team grew around you and if mistakes were made how what would you do differently. To me, the company/team talk eats away at the limited time in the interview and doesn't generally matter since we are not hiring your company but how you helped is very relevant.
I will slightly demerit people if I have to resort to asking what they individually did as opposed to the team and a lot if I still don't get a good feel for it. I realize at large companies it can be hard since you might be the guy that maintains a small section of a website but I prefer upfront honesty to having to sort it out with more questions.
