*Oh, you’re going to fight us, are you? says Draco, and the narrator makes sure to make clear how brave Harry and Ron are for standing up for themselves. Well, why did you both intentionally pick a fight with the kid for if the other two are so unbearably huge and intimidating?
Ron picked a fight, Draco involved Harry. It does take some courage to fight against people who are stronger than you. Plus they are outnumbered.
I think they are all twits. Ron for picking a fight and being a prejudiced ass, Draco for responding in kind and involving Harry (besides the way he talked to Harry was really condescending, I wouldn't react well either if someone told me with whom I am allowed to be friends), and Harry for seriously bad taste and being a little prejudiced twit, too.
*Harry then tells Draco to leave, which of course he can’t actually do without leaving his testicles behind. I’m kind of beginning to see why Malfoy is driven so crazy by Harry’s popularity. From his pov Harry totally thinks he’s all that.
So does Draco. It just seems unfair, because the author favours Harry and doesn't give Draco a break. That's not Harry's fault though.
*Not to mention, for the first time I’m sort of beginning to see why Draco responds with his Voldemort-y threats. I used to think Draco was just humiliated personally so pretended his "side" had been rejected, but Harry’s behavior does probably seem to Draco to indicate that he’s joined the Weasley fight against the Malfoys. After all, as far as Draco probably knows they got alone fine in the robe shop. It’s only now he’s sitting with the Weasley boy that he’s been told Malfoy’s the wrong sort.
It was still not an okay thing to do, to involve Voldemort. If Ron had started it by calling his father a DE it would have been okay, but otherwise it was in really bad taste. Harry has been orphaned because of it.
*Peter bites Goyle for no reason I can see, and the Slytherin trio disappear. They tend to do that a lot. Disappear, I mean, when we’ve got the point that they suck even though there’s no real reason for them to leave except the author needs to usher in a new scene and can’t be bothered to follow the first to a logical conclusion.
Afraid of rats? Ron is afraid of spiders and rats are pretty nasty. If I was Goyle I'd go to the infirmary first thing to make sure I didn't catch anything.
Plus they heard someone approaching. It could have been a prefect for all they knew.
*Speaking of which, Hermione’s back to get a little more face time. Malfoy’s personality fits fine with Harry’s and Ron’s, but he’s evil. Hermione’s tedious and has nothing in common with Harry and Ron, but she’s vulnerable. I know which one I’d rather see become a friend.
They felt pity and became her friends later on because they felt bad. They don't feel pity for Malfoy, only animosity. Besides vulnerable my ass. Hermione can be vicious.
*Ron explains that all standing up to snobs aside, some Wizarding families really are much better than others, and that he, Ron, can help him keep from making friends with the wrong sort.
Unfortunately, by that point Harry has already become too biased to appreciate the irony. (and JK, too)
*Harry and Ron make Hermione leave, yet seem to just pull their robes on over their clothes. Ah, the magic of Wizarding clothes.
I like dressing up as witch, its fun. Besides wizards normally don't wear anything beneath their robes, so they must have taken off their clothing.
