the only point I would like to make is, I don't think Pansy *had* to 
vilify Harry.  What Harry did was horrific.  Draco could have died 
from the Sectumsempra hex.  So, in this case, Pansy told the truth 
about Harry - unless she said that Draco was attacked unprovoked - I 
don't have my book in front of me...
