All the arguments to justify attacking Draco at the end of GOF can be used
to make it perfectly fine to attack Harry on the train ride to school in
HBP.  Harry goes in uninvited, spys on the Slytherins in order to tell on
them, gets caught by a boy who is in terrific pain and stress because his
father is in prison and his family is under a death threat from Voldemort.
It is amazing to me that the same people who argue that the trio is allowed
to deal out justice or retribution will now say but it isn't okay for Draco
to do it.



Sherry now:

I can't speak for anyone else, but I have never said Harry didn't deserve
what he got in a way.  As soon as he decided to go in there, I knew he was
going to get caught and the consequences wouldn't be pretty.  I love Harry
and I defend him often, but that was one time I thought maybe he had to
learn a lesson he wouldn't enjoy.
