Again, Luna alluded to a boy being unhappy that a girl didn’t want to dance with him at the Yule Ball. 90+ % of teenage boys could care less about the dancing as long as it leads to kissing, groping and hopefully nakedness. The blatantly reversed gender bias here falls flat because no matter how much you try to draw a direct connection between the two different universes, Men and Women are different in how they react. A fashion obsessed giggly female Patill may have been unhappy Harry ignored her, but a Male would only have cared that the female look good on his arm.

- Applying your gingoistic this Universe-centric thinking to it is a tad prejudicial.
