Errr. . . yes well, but by that logic, don't the Ravenclaws show bad 
form by not offering to postpone the game? Instead of going 
and "steamrollering" the Gryffindors? 


Derannimer (who always thought the point of that action of Cedric 
Diggory's--*especially* offering to replay--was to show how 
remarkably decent a boy *he* was, and not to show what the standard 
conduct generally is.)
