I like your thoughts about POV and this being a stand-in for Draco crying to Myrtle. You're also right to bring up the boy who got lost for a while - was it Montague? Montescue? Hmm, I want to read fic about what happened to Montague while he was in there, now :D
It's interesting you say you could consider my version of events while watching the film and there was some plausibility to it. I've found everyone's arguments feasible, it does seem to be a choice of which version you prefer, and the implications for Draco are bad either way. I just prefer us witnessing his fear and horror at the fact that he has been successful, as it deepens his character in my opinion, but we feel pity for him either way.
