> Sorry, you missed my point. I spoke about fights IN the peer group. 
And not only physical fights - to see who is the "alpha Gryffindor" in 
his year, and in the entire House. Now, where do we see anything like 
that?

Ceridwen:
I think Harry's dorm mates are in a very different situation here than 
other dorms would be.  They have the 'one and only, genuine, original' 
Boy Who Lived.  No one can top that.  Beat out the other boys at... 
what? when Harry had already beaten Voldemort as a toddler.  It's very 
possible that Neville, Seamus and Dean have fought it out amongst 
themselves for the Not The Boy Who Lived Alpha Male of their dorm, but 
Harry, and Ron, who rode shotgun for Harry since SS/PS, are not 
involved.
