See #176. Originally Harry “only” applauded two people. Instead, guess that when talking about Zabini, the point is that he meant to start applauding Slytherins, but only managed to applaud one before Sorting ended.
This doesn't read well too me, so for consideration, this is my suggestion to resolve #176.

Thanks for this suggestion. I don't think it helps: cheering is more enthusiastic than applauding, so Harry noticing that he's only applauded one person is uncharacteristically legalistic of him. It leaves the text in pretty much the same confusing place as before. Also, I think your guess that the important thing is that Harry was trying to applaud Slytherins is spot on. Trying to form genuine relationships with Draco and others is a big theme of the book, and this is one of the earliest indicators of it. |

The rewording doesn't read well to me, so for consideration, this is my suggestion to resolve #176. Instead of changing the wording, this just changes the word "applauding" to "cheering" and that makes the inconsistency go away with much less changes to the prose.
