I don't mean to attack your friend here, of course, but literally every 'sighting' I've heard of weren't first-hand accounts, but "my mate saw this" accounts. Not buying it until I see actual screenshots that are provably taken on a normal in-game session.
Still, I'll grant that Herobrine's an interesting concept. How it came about, I can't say, but I'll give Notch props for having made a game that's had enough of a community and enough impact to enable the 'creation' of these almost legendary figures in the MineCraft universe. Well done there. :P
