>>> That great distaste look on his face (as I've said before) might
simply be due to his disgust at Hagrid (can't blame him there), the
Thestrals in general, or the fact that he knows there are some
Gryffindors, including Famous Harry Potter who can also see the
Thestrals.  I also have to throw in again that just because this kid
has seen someone die doesn't mean he's especially sensitive now.
Maybe he murdered his own House Elf, or watched dear old mom and dad
kill a Muggle or - well, you get my drift. <<<

Lady Macbeth:
It could have also been due to a weak stomach for seeing bloody meat torn
apart.  Just because he's a boy, or a Slytherin, doesn't mean he can handle
the sight of "blood and gore" any more than some of the "prettiest, faintest
girls" who can't handle a papercut.  I know several grown men who freak out
at the sight of blood, my husband being one of them.

There's nothing that says "all Slytherins are bad", and we've been shown
time and again that Ron's opinion of "Everyone who ever went bad was in
Slytherin" was also wrong.  It's entirely possible that this is just an
average boy who never merited Harry's attention before because he was a
Slytherin, and at this instance Harry saw him at a weak moment.
