Yes. -shrugs- It's a pretty lame connection, but otherwise it seemed...rather random. It was probably a simple matter of "If Creevy were sneaking off anywhere, it'd be to Potter's". Perhaps he simply didn't want to arrive empty-handed -- and grapes seemed as good a choice as any, its cultural implication just an add-in.
Also, to just make a comment on Draco and Quidditch -- I think it simply serves as yet another reminder that while both Draco and Harry have some sort of fame, Malfoys well known among wizards and Harry being who he is, they have almost opposite reactions toward it. Harry, wishing to be distinguished for his talent or ability as opposed to the scar on his head, actually pours effort into Quidditch, the thing he most excels at. Draco, however, is comfortable with sliding by, for he knows there will always be his name and fortune to keep him out of social shadow. Obvious, perhaps, but it's good to see this represented through something so general as the wizarding sport.
