Yes! Like I said above, it would be like having something happen to you and then you're in this room of jolly Gryffindors and everyone's laughing about it and congratulating the person you're the most angry at.
It's sort of like how in a conversation recently people were referring to the "charmed circle"--oh, it was the one about Snape being redeemed by love, which always gets into this idea that Harry's greatest gift is somehow being deserving of love in ways other people aren't, or able to love in ways other people aren't, and unfortunately for all the talk about Slytherins freezing themselves out with their dreadful views on who should be accepted into society, it's more these people that seem to put themselves above the rest of the world, somehow.
