Magpie:
Then I guess I don't know what to reply to that. The kid is actually
called "The Chosen One." In the newspaper. He's a celebrity. The
biggest celebrity in his world. If Harry isn't an important person I
don't know who possibly could be. He's almost literally the only
person who matters most of the time in his entire world.


Alla:

Oh, of course he is the Chosen one and sure, he is important. I was 
thinking about one of the most recent debates as to whether he is a 
popular guy on campus, because that I disagree with - that he is not 
popular all the time and not with everybody.

Alla:
> And everybody has an opinion about Harry is I think again an
opinion.

Magpie:
With consistent canonical evidence.

Alla:

I would like then to see canon where **every** Hogwarts student has 
opinion about Harry.

Not some students have opinion about Harry, because that assertion I 
agree with, but every single one of them? I think that a lot of 
Hogwarts students have a lot of things on their mind besides having 
to think about Harry, yes despite him being a chosen one.

JMO,

Alla.
