I think the main difference, though, is that Colin seems to have 
grown out of the hero-worship he's had toward Harry.  After CoS, we 
didn't hear very much from him at all - he'd pop up every now and 
then, but not because he was trailing Harry.  

And there was practically no mention of him at all in OoP.  If he was 
supposed to be still Harry's Number One Fan, I'd think we'd have seen 
more of him.

I think Peter was far more attached to James than Colin is to Harry - 
and vice versa.
