Some people are really on this thread having a go at the original poster for feeling disheartened.. yikes.
1st class degree holders have every right to feel cheated by universities that round up grades. Grade inflation is a dishonest act that merely boosts the ranking of a university. They're using 2:1 students as pawns for their own financial benefit frankly.
It was wrong to look at someone else's grades without their permission, but the frustration associated with it is perfectly valid.
