However, there are a few instances where characters demonstrate courage and loyalty by standing up to others, even when it's difficult:
* Hermione Granger stands up to Ron Weasley when he's being rude to Harry Potter, which ultimately earns her a point for Gryffindor.
* Harry Potter stands up to Draco Malfoy when Malfoy is being prejudiced towards Hermione and Ron, demonstrating his own bravery and loyalty.
It's important to remember that point awarding in the Harry Potter universe is often subjective, and the Headmaster (or teacher) has the final say. So, while standing up to friends isn't explicitly rewarded with points in *Sorcerer's Stone*, it's a quality that is definitely valued and admired within the wizarding world.
