Ah, if the status regulation emotions go both ways, perhaps.

But Eliezer seemed to be referring to how people got angry at how Harry didn't treat McGonagall in a manner befitting her higher status - this can be attributed to lack of status regulation emotions on the part of Harry, or Harry having a massive ego.

Harry also doesn't have respect due to status regulation but that's not enough to get someone reading the story angry. I personally found it quite funny. But then I also don't put much value on that kind of status. It's the kind of people with a strong status related emotions who get annoyed by the story.
