Carol responds:

You snipped the canon, so I'll put it back in before respondsing,

"Then the Hufflepuffs stood, and almost at the same moment, the Ravenclaws, all of them with their backs to Harry, all of them looking toward Pansy instead, and Harry, awestruck and overwhelmed, saw wands emerging everywhere, pulled from beneath cloaks and from under sleeves."

The wands in this passage are not Slytherin wands pointing at Harry; they're Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw wands pointing at the Slytherins. Or that's how I read it. 

Carol, doubting that Harry would have been "awestruck and overwhelmed" by wands pointing *at* him
