Before the Sorting Hat

[huushiita]

I'm currently colouring a Snape picture, while watching the movie. 
I've noticed something, and I thought I'd give it a hoo yaa to all 
you 
guys and see what you think.
 
It's the scene before the Sorting Hat, where Draco Malfoy is 
introducing himself to Harry Potter, and insulting Ron Weasley in the 
process. Professor McGonagoll comes up behind Malfoy and taps him. 
Malfoy gives one last warning look to Harry, before going back to his 
place. The look on McGonagoll's face as she watches Malfoy is one of 
pure disgust. 
Maby it's becuase of how she knows his father, Lucius,  and what 
he's done, or maby it's because it's just "another Malfoy", but to me 
it's like, "Get away, you evil scum". 
Unless she knows already that Malfoy is a soon-to-be Death Eater, 
even though Voldemort has yet to really show himself, becuase of 
Lucius being in Voldemort's Inner Circle. I sure can't put it past 
the 
Malfoy family to pretend to be on the Good Side, while secretly doing 
the evil things they do: Just. In. Case.
Lucius strikes me as an utter coward, always going for the upper 
hand, no matter which side it's on. (A lot like the rat Pettigrew, 
although Lucius does show more bravery with the wit he has.)
 
Just an idle idea, that has rooted itself in my brain. Love to know 
all your thoughts on it, whether for and against my reasoning.
 
Also, I'm new to the list, and I've greatly enjoyed being a lurker 
here for the week or so. Keep the great discussions coming! Cheers!
