I think it does say that harry did not see Cedric as his enemy

So he did realised it, right? See, that is what matters for me. 
Harry overcame his feelings of jealousy, which I did not find THAT 
horrible in the first place.

OK, Del. Harry is guilty as charged, I concede. He "allowed himself" 
to get a negative picture of the boy, who was going out with the 
girl he liked. 


I was not saying that Harry has objective opinion of Snape . I was 
saying that harry is able to SEE many ACTIONS of Snape, which are 
objective and based on which we as readers are able to form quite 
objective opinion of Snape ( of course such opinion can change when 
new answers will be revealed)
