It's only common courtesy I'd say to give back a proper response. You 
know, the kind where one can actually make out the words and not just 
a jumble of mumblings and the kind where one can see the speaker's 
face instead of his back fleeing.

Here I must jump in to defend my dear Harry.  I think Harry has been 
extremely courteous to Colin Creevey who, IMO, has been more than 
annoying in CoS.  I would call him a nuisance.  Following Harry 
around, staring at his scar, snapping photos of Harry while Harry is 
at Quidditc practice... Colin is invasive and inconsiderate of Harry 
and his privacy.  Colin is no friend of Harry's and certainly doesn't 
want to be.  What he is interested in is the fact that Harry is 
"Famous Harry Potter", much like Draco was when he met Harry for the 
second time on the train.  I think Colin is the one who needs to have 
some courtesy, and I think Harry has been consistently more polite 
than necessary to Colin.
