Potioncat:
Well, we have something of that when Seamus expresses doubt about 
Harry in the beginning of (oh shoot, which book was it?) It becomes a 
face off; Harry and Ron against Seamus and Dean.

Actually, over the years, it seems Neville has become the odd man 
out, rather than there being a clear cut fight for leader. Ron and 
Harry buddy up; Seamus and Dean buddy up; and Neville wanders about 
on his own.

All in all, though, I think many aspects of the 'School Days of Harry 
Potter' are lost to the needs of the greater plot. 

I really enjoyed that scene in the movie too. Was it "amimal 
crackers" they were eating?
