Why is it humiliating? Because anyone who dares to treat Harry as if he were an ordinary student instead of the extra-special Boy-Who-Lived Gryffindor Chosen One Hero-of-a-Seven-Book-Series Christ Figure is a MEANIE!
This would be fine if the author didn't agree with Harry 100% and thereby cause the readers to agree as well. I have no problem with eleven-year-old Harry thinking a strict and demanding teacher is mean, but instead of growing out of it as he gets older, he becomes convinced that a strict and demanding teacher is Evil Incarnate. And again, the author (and therefore the readers) agree. Sigh.
