Oh, I love this! The subtlety of their interaction is so well done. Some of my favorite lines:
He could trace his family line back to Ptolemy, and he hardly intended to have the tantrums of a secret society, in costume no less, define his own era
Brilliant!
In the holding cells, they were saying that Harry Potter had murdered Professor Snape—had slit his throat, or else had set a snake upon him. Everyone knew that Potter was a Parselmouth.
I can totally see how this would happen. Great way of putting yourself in the others' shoes to see how they would spin it.
And this: The Vitreous Humourless curse! That is beyond brilliant, I love it! :D
