Harry is more tolerant of Draco's actions in public than he would be in private, or for that matter in public with his own friends. He knows that Draco needs to establish himself as not diminished by the power and fame of Harry Potter. And anyone who thinks that Harry is some kind of slave or poet is obviously not paying attention to what just happened with Flint.
I'm glad you like the little details. They're one of the things I enjoy adding to the story the most.
