in detention.

Draco came to the lesson straight from the hospital wing. Probably Snape 
knew that, so it would be really odd for him to punish Draco for his 
enthusiasm in Potions. :-)
Harry can complain all he wants, but he was late discussing quidditch. 
Not the same. Oh, and he was monstrously rude when Snape was 
substituting Lupin, I didn't feel that the points taken were unfair.
Maybe Snape would punish Harry's lateness even if it was for important 
reason, I can easily see that. But it's never happened in the canon, so 
Harry comparing himself with Draco is just speculation.
