Hmm, I see that differently. We learned that Harry was a Parselmouth -
I am sure that will be important later. And we learned that the
feelings of the other student can quickly sway from liking Harry to
hating him. We saw it again in GoF. I believe that - judging from
Fudge´s reaction - Harry will be shunned a lot in OoP. CoS kind of
acclimated us to people *not* loving Harry.
