Manipulative Dumbledore and paid off friends - but focused on the WBWL. Harry is disregarded (other than childish bullying/school yard taunts from the WBWL) by everyone for the most part, while the supposed (w)BWL gets all the attention- except Ron and (Hermione?) The BWL's friends are paid off.

Basically all the tropes from Manipulative Dumbledore/Weasley Bashing/False friends/etc stories, but they are all happening to/focused on the WBWL and not Harry.

Harry, of course, doesn't want attention anyways, and already didn't envy the WBWL's life even before everything fell apart and things get revealed about the manipulations and betrayals and the like.

Personally, I'd like a Harry+Hermione+Neville trio (possibly with others), but if Neville is the WBWL he wouldn't fit, and Hermione being Harry's friend may or may not work out depending on how an author chooses to take their first year.
