just hate all the "Trio-Malfoy" encounters to be summarized by 
>Slytherin haters (not talking oif you) as "Saint Potter is a Saint,

No one said he wasn't.

In the example you give, it was St. Ron who fell from grace. St. 
Harry fell from grace when he threw mud at Malfoy outside the 
Shrieking Shack.

But there is a difference between a human kid sometimes letting his 
anger get the better of him and a piece of racist filth like Malfoy. 

I get annoyed (not talking of you) with people who want to 
say, "Well, Ron attacked Malfoy, so he's just as bad as he is."

No. He. Is. Not. 

Was attacking Malfoy the smart or even right thing to do? No, but it 
is more understandable and justifiable than anything Malfoy does.

Well, that's fine, for you to expect 12-year-olds to behave with that 
kind of patience. Touch unrealistic, but fine.
