Yes, I agree with this take on both situations--I didn't want it to sound like I was laying things at Harry's door or making Slytherins into victims of Gryffindor all the time by any means. I was just saying I think there are times when JKR is writing it that the Slytherins aren't victimizing so that the Gryffindors have to defend themselves. I agree, for instance, that Ron and Draco are very different. Harry is reacting to Draco in the robe shop, just as he's reacting to Ron on the train, and for obvious reasons Draco puts him off while Ron is someone he likes. It's just that that doesn't necessarily completely tell the whole story of the Slytherin in question.
