Does it? I suppose it does, in a way. Not getting a party and quidditch doesn't bother me as much as it ought, because I can already tell Mother's planning ways to make it up to me.

What really bothers me is that Harry never listens to me. It's not just that he doesn't get punished and I do, it's that friends should listen to friends when they feel strongly about something. He doesn't. I think he sort of tries to, or thinks he tries to, but in the end he doesn't.

But then, when it comes right down to it I guess he's used to being able to have the final say.
