I've noticed that as well, particularly in CoS where Draco makes so
many references to "mudbloods." He sounds like a little Nazi, doesn't
he? I expect JKR to deal with this whole "racial purity" notion in
later volumes.

Does anyone else think Draco might eventually foresake his father
and come over to Harry's side? I suspect he will for two reasons:
(1) JKR has foreshadowed sons going against fathers twice now; and (2)
everything important seems to come in fours in the HP books but so far
we just have Harry, Hermione and Ron. Who will be their fourth peer? I
think it will be Draco.
