If there is a showdown, you don't HAVE to show your cards. If someone asks to see them (anyone at the table), they are entitled to though. The main reason for this would be if someone was suspected of cheating, but obviously that wasn't the case last night. The guy who asked, while in his right, was being quite classless. Most people don't ask to see other people's hands when they try to much them. It's rare (because it's such a dick move), but it is allowed.
If someone were to be asking to see people's cards repeatedly (abusing their right), they could/would be given a warning from a floorperson to ease up...
Think of it as legal, but bad sportsmanship.
