3* In Year 2, Harry gives Riddle an ''awesome'' ReasonYouSuckSpeech ending with Harry declaring himself the Heir of Slytherin.
4** Directly related to the above, because Harry's rescue of Ginny was a result of Percy's direct request and offer to exchange his life for hers (believing Harry to have been the Heir all along), Harry, Draco, and Theo manage to pressure Percy into binding himself as Harry's personal vassal. This marks Harry's first step on the path to becoming ''Lord Potter''.
5* Harry's takedown of Theo's prejudiced attitude against muggleborns and their descendants, in what becomes a simultaneous PatrickStewartSpeech and a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. So powerful that the entire Slytherin class (and everyone else who happened to be at breakfast at the time) took note, and even Draco acknowledges its merit.
6* During the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament, unlike in canon, all four champions make it to the center of the maze. They then break off into pairs to duel each other, and the results are spectacular:
7** Harry faces off against Fleur Delacour; though she's handicapped due to her wand arm being broken, he manages to win despite being at least three years her junior in terms of magical study.
8** While we only see bits and pieces of it, Cedric Diggory and Viktor Krum's duel features the two of them trading spells at such a furious pace that Harry is left in awe.
9* An understated example for Percy in Year 4: due to his improved standing among and the backing of his Slytherin Housemates and their families, his role as Barty Crouch's assistant receives much greater praise and ultimately results in him assuming the man's role as Department Head, one of the youngest in Ministry history.
10* In year 5, Harry succeeds in reconciling the differences between the Malfoy and Black clans.
