Nay! (ok, enough with the horse puns)
We do, as usual, have only harry's perspective on this. The wink at
Crabbe & Goyle could just as easily mean, "See how many benefits and
how much sympathy I get from this injury!" or even "I am, of course,
lying about whether I am still feeling pain from it". The former
would be a viable subtext even if he's still in pain, although I
don't think he is in much pain from it. The latter, of course, would
be viable if he's feeling absolutely no pain from it, the way I felt
from about 4 days after my broken leg got casted, although he still
can't use it because of the sling, the same way I couldn't really use
my leg because of the cast.
Obviously, if Pansy is asking him about it, then he's not hanging
around the Slytherin common room slingless, tossing darts in the
evenings. If he was faking it, then why wouldn't the other slytherins
band behind him and be happy about getting one over on the other
houses, and not report him for only wearing his bandages in public?
