Okay, wasting my third post of the day, but that is  what we now call 
his way of ignoring the incident?

I thought that is what calls continiuous favoring of the Slytherins?

Wasn't him ignoring Slytherin hexing Gryffindor girl exactly that - 
**favoring** Slytherins?

I mean, ignoring is when nobody punished, not when guilty is not 
punished. when guilty is not punished I call it favoritism. Am I 
missing something here?

dignity and he shows them the example of his own behaviour.

Yes, sorry, my bad :)
