Why isn't it true? Once all the noteworthy and great players get 
banned they'll of course cheer for the mediocre ones or do you 
seriously think that the gryffindors would be cheering and singing 
Weasley is our King if Harry was still the star seeker? If Harry 
hadn't been banned no one would have noticed him.

Why should we? The fact that he constantly complains about his 
problems when there are students like Neville who are scorned and 
mocked constantly by everyone and yet go on living and complain 
little about their problems.

Nor do I, but I think Book 6 is going to focus more on Neville and 
his rise to prominence.
