I expect that point of the pen is to demonstrate to Lord Malfoy that a) Harry is a man of his word, and thus his words are worth examining, and b) Harry is a man of /exactly/ his word, and thus worth respecting.
It occurs to me that for a normal person “his words are worth examining” and “worth respecting” would be the other way round in that sentence.
Thank you!
