Marketing people have weird viewpoints. I suspect they have a formula
marketing plan, which doesn't read the books, just is given things like Hero,
one each (1), Villain, one each (1), Hero's friends, ...you get the idea. The
true antagonists in terms of the action in book 1 are Draco, Snape
(perceived), and Quirrell (actual), and I haven't seen too much about any of
them. Also, Draco is slimy but not really powerful and a juvenile human,
which makes him not as interesting as slimy, powerful, creepy supernatural
Voldemort.
