    I find it telling that the Weasleys and Lupin didn't recognize Harry sooner. Lupin's wolf recognized Hary even when he couldn't bring it to the forefont of his mind. But for Harry to have gotten the sweatshirt that Molly knitted and told her the tales of spending time at her home. She didn't know him. While I don't Harry to be more hurt, maybe this is an invaluable opportunity for him to find out who actuallly is a friend and who isn't. I would bet 25 Galleons that Luna, Hermione, and, even, Neville would recognize him immediately, but that Ron won't.

    Here's my issue.

    Even if Harry was being stand offish and none of the Gryffindor's remembered him and even if he was hanging out with Slytherins and Snape, that doesn't give anyone the right to hex his bed and go through his stuff. Similarly when he tried sleeping in the common room. I don't care what they thought, that sort of bullying is out of line. The excuse that they simply forgot him doesn't work, because Harry didn't do anything to deserve that treatment. Hanging out with another house does not justify his treatment.

    It also doesn't explain why they were annoyed at him in the beginning of the year when he got a potions question wrong. They shouldn't have felt good or bad about him and being picked on by Snape is practically a right of passage or a bonding experience for Gryffs. The treatment just doesn't add up.

    Author's Response:

    That is sort of the point, isn't it? That it just doesn't 'add up'. It's not supposed to add up. Most of the pieces to the puzzle are there, just not making much sense. There's more to the story yet.

    In my experience there is nothing that could justify treatment like that, ever. Even if Harry was being a total arse, it wouldn't be right to treat someone like they have treated Harry. Yes, the times are turbulent with everyone distrusting Voldemort and, by default, Slytherins. So, of course, no one has the right to treat Harry like they have treated him. 

    Bullying is always wrong.

    Perhaps they were annoyed with him for getting the answer wrong because, up until that point, they had only seen Harry hanging out with a Slytherin, and seen him sitting at the Slytherin table. In their eyes, before Harry even tried making friends, he was already playing nice with, again in their eyes, 'the enemy'.

    Who, exactly, it was that went through his stuff hasn't been revealed yet. 

    Thank you for reviewing.
