Sorry for me to beat a dead horse (or cockroaches), but I went back
and reread this portion of the book.  I was struck by this quote at
the very end of the chapter:

"What was making Harry feel so horrified and unhappy was not being
shouted at or *having jars thrown at him*--it was that he knew how it
felt to be humiliated in the middle of a circle of onlookers..." (p
