I don't think Anton thinking Harry is a mate, just came out of no where.

During his arguments, Harry seemed most annoyed with Anton. He kept saying to him, "you were the closest person to me in the house", "supposed to be my friend" etc.

So it was not just Anton saying they were close, even Harry said it too. Anton said they both stayed up late every night chatting, and were very close, even closer than Harry and Aaron are.

I think that at one stage not so long ago, that this was probably actually true. Anton was hugely shocked by the thought of Harry nominating him, and I think Harry is just getting him back over the food colouring incident.

Before that happened, I'm willing to believe that Harry and Anton were quite close friends. Harry even said it himself afterall.

some really astute observations there. Anton told Harry how he was the 'ugliest' member of the house too, maybe Harry holds grudges.
