 I mean, Draco with the father who can buy all Governors in his pocket or Harry, 
who is of course very very well known and who as you said in the other post 
girls can swoon over sometimes, but the same Harry against whom whole school 
turn against at the slightest sign of trouble - witness Heir of Slytherin business 
or Harry supposedly throwing his name in the Goblet.

Sharon:
This is so interesting! When Fred and george tried to put their name in the cup, 
everyone was cheering. So why was it that when Harry appeared to have gotten 
over the age line and had been chosen, that everyone was so mad at him? Why 
not clap him on the back and say "yay, Harry, go get 'em?" like they would have 
if Fred or George (or anyone esle for that matter) had been chosen?  I just don't 
get that.  And I don't get the way everyone automatically believes everything 
that is said against Harry all through the series. To me people in the WW are just 
really far too ready to believe bad things about him, in spite of the fact that he 
performed all these heroic acts.

Sharon, who does not believe either Harry or Draco are the big man on campus, 
and if I had to choose anyone it would be Cedric Diggory or Viktor Krum or even 
Percy (as Head Boy with an ego the size of Australia)
