Oh, come on!  What if it was an annoyed snap?  Does that make Harry a 
nasty rude git?  I don't think so.  Harry and Colin are *peers*.  
Harry, like Colin, is just trying to be a student at Hogwarts.  What I 
see no evidence of is Colin's desire to get to know Harry - not Famous 
Harry Potter.  Asking Harry for an autograph?  I find that ridiculous, 
forward and just generally rude.  Colin refuses to pick up on Harry's 
discomfort with his fame and with Colin's unflattering admiration of 
Harry.  He continues to follow him, take his photo, say "Hi!" 3467 
times a day...  I think Harry has well earned a frustrated "No!" at 
some point in response to Colin's badgering.

Can you tell I'm not a Colin Creevey fan?
