Snape is much more difficult about stuff like that. No heroics for Harry in front of him!
Snape has some kind of uncanny resistance to Harry's competence-damper field, thus robbing Harry of the chance to look ridiculously good at his expense. It's part of what makes him so petty and hateful.
Luckily since this is the Weasleys we know they won’t be demanding anything be done.
The Weasleys, except Percy, are all about loyalty. If they made a fuss it would be tantamount to questioning Beloved Leader.
Fred "fairly" suggests Oliver Wood would have poisoned the Slytherin team if he could have gotten away with it. Um. Okay. *revises previous opinion of Oliver Wood*
Didn't Wood say in PoA he didn't care if Harry fell off his broom provided he caught the Snitch first? If that's the extent of his concern for his own team, the Slytherins probably did have a lucky escape.
Everyone’s much more interested in seeing Zach Smith punished for doing the commentary Lee used to do, only biased against Gryffindor instead of for Gryffindor.
Seriously, what's going on with Smith? He questions Harry and gets threatened, gets hexed by Ginny, does anti-Gryff commentary and gets flattened by Ginny, and somehow it seems like all this adds up to more and more proof that he's a bad guy. In a snarky but ineffectual, slightly comic way. Are we seeing "Dr. Zachary Smith: The Early Years", or what?
Funny that Harry is thinking about a visit from Dobby and that leads him to remember he’s got…Kreacher. Why not call Dobby, who’s as close to a slave as one can get without the ownership papers?
Not to mention that Kreacher's level of cooperation is such that he'll do his utmost to disobey Harry, and incidentally has already helped Harry's enemies kill...whatshisface. Some guy he was close to in the last book, whatever.
