Apart from being despicable snobs who treat the Galleon-challenged,
half-bloods and Muggles with contempt, the Malfoys probably dislike
him because (1) he did not defect to the Dark Side when the Malfoys did
and(2) Arthur simply doesn't subscribe to Malfoy's philosophies; by being
different and not easily bought or scared off by Malfoy's wealth as some
other members of the MoM appear to be. He doesn't have the authority or
status to be influential enough, for the Malfoys' unsavoury ends.
