Harry Potter is very famous and a legend in the wizarding world;
enough attraction for Draco to want to be friends, as much as Draco
understands that word.  But he has to impress Harry in turn and so he
drags in all that "best families" stuff to show that he is someone
himself.  Probably he wants to acquire Harry as a member of his
circle.

Draco isn't very people-smart, as you say.  Even Lucius is smarter as
when he reminds Draco in Borgins shop that he should be making
friends with Harry; a piece of advice that Draco ignores (indirect
evidence to me that he doesn't fear his father).
