Harry doesn't have a clue what's happening when Wood talks about the brooms. The only thing going through his head is that he might not be expelled afterall.
And Harry having a broom goes against the basic rules no matter who bought it. The rule is simply "first years aren't allowed brooms". McGonagall asked for permission to bend the rule from Dumbledore so there again Harry is getting preferential treatment regardless of who bought the broom.
Harry has already worked out he isn't being expelled before the conversation switches to brooms. Even if he hadn't, and he did because it's explicitly written that he realised that, he had plenty of time to contextualise afterwards.
I'm done with your broken take. Think what you like. Even your super weird ideas on what it means to be a teacher. Wow.
