I know Harry says that, and this pleases me, but I think that it should have been a given that he regretted it besides the detentions. The detentions shouldn't weigh in the balance, and Harry thinking that they do kind of appals me. Still, I am really glad he said that: it gives me hope for him.
I think Professor McGonagall, as a good teacher and one who entirely supported the detentions and thought they were if anything too light a punishment, would have thrown Harry off the pitch and given him a good many more detentions with her. I realise she's enthused about Quidditch, but she shows not the slightest trace of regret about Harry missing the match when she supports the detentions and I'd be shocked and disgusted if she did. She showed she had her priorities straight: I wish Harry has as clearly shown that his were.
