zgirnius:
Or maybe Draco's situation came first...

After all, in the train scene where Draco catched Harry spying on him,
Draco immobilized Harry. He could have done anything he liked to Harry
at this point, in particular, he coul dhave killed him, noone was
there to see. But Draco broke his nose and left him there. Not exactly
a nice thing to do, but it coul dhave been worse...
