I partly agree with you. Already before I realised that Peter was 
evil, I was surprised that Harry imagined Peter to be like Neville, 
because the way Peter was described sounded IMO a lot like Colin 
(although since OOTP I am not sure anymore. I have a hard time 
imagine Colin cheering when somebody else is bullied). However, that 
doesn't have to mean that he also turns out evil. He could as well 
make another choice and turn out to be a real friend. 

On the other hand, I also think there will be a traitor and that is 
someone who already exists and is seemingly on Harry's side, or at 
least not against him currently. Colin would be an obvious choice 
(maybe to obvious) and I don't know who else could turn willingly. 
But I may be biased, because I also strongly dislike Colin (I like 
Dennis, on the other hand) and if someone turns out to be a traitor, 
I hope it is him, rather than a character, I actually like. 

I do think that something important will happen to/with Colin. Why 
else would JKR waste that much time for him. Penelope and Justin were 
also petrified, but it is Colin who appears again and again, without 
any purpose. But who knows. Maybe he will just die, and I am supposed 
to be sad about this.
