It's not that he has a public face and a private face, it's what he does with the public one, like bringing MLE down on Ron this summer! He didn't HAVE to do that. He could've just kept his mouth shut!
If it were just acting like a prat to Ron it would be one thing. But Thomas endangered Ron and I'm not sure he realises that or cares. Or maybe he thinks that the sort of danger a pureblood can get into just doesn't count because it's not the camps (though they've sent purebloods there -- that man who sheltered escapees, for instance. During that camp breakout when Sarah Fawcett's mum was killed. If they hadn't, he'd have gone to Azkaban and I really can't imagine that would be much better, it's guarded by Dementors.)
