      If I was magical Professor X and saw Harry standing over a bleeding 
 Draco, and knowing, as all teachers must that Draco has ALWAYS 
 started things either with "fighting words" or actual unprovoked 
 attacks, I would have both parties put their memories into a pensieve 
 or administer a truth serum/potion. I WOULD NOT strike out and assume 
 that Harry was the guilty party. This is just another example where 
 Harry is shown injustice by adults who never seek truth.
 If I was anyone and came up to two parties, where one is bleeding, my 
 first action is to get the injured party first aid. My second action 
 is to find out what actually happened. As I remember, there was very 
 little, if any, time spent finding out what happened and a lot of 
 time blaming Harry.

 Well...can you just DO that to students? IIRC (and it's not movie poisoning), you can't use Veritaserum on a student. I think the Pensieve is the same idea. It's a complete and total violation of the students' right. I may be biased because I am currently a college student and I'm sick and tired of everyone assuming that I have no rights (sorry...tangent lol). The first course of action should've been to *question* both of them. If this did not produce sufficient results, they could *ask* the students to put the memory in a Pensieve! I do not like the idea of just immediately removing all the rights of the students before questioning is even attempted...
