Some Gryffindor kid cheers for the deaths of the Death Eaters, and he is assaulted and officially punished, while just prior, the younger Jurgson is cheering on the Dark Lord coming back and … he receives compassion.
I wasn’t offended with McGonagall offering support to the orphaned children. But an under age ID shouldn’t be a get out of moral responsibility card either. Hogwarts goes up to 16? 17? That’s old enough to be held responsible for your loyalties.
It does seem rather asymmetric, doesn’t it?

That Gryffindor kid isn’t distraught over his father’s death; that’s the difference.
