Is Draco Evil & a true enemy of Harrys'?

  I really don't think that we have enough information to judge 
if Draco is evil or not. We know that, on the outside, he's 
mean, sarcastic and cold but does that really tell us that he's 
evil?  We know is father is a Death Eater but that doesn't mean that 
Draco is one or wants to be. I've always looked at Draco as a good 
person who's been led to believe that mudbloods are evil by his Death 
Eater father. Even when we first met him in Madam Malkin's I liked 
him. I also think that Rowling will severely hurt her popularity if 
she makes Draco two dimensional and evil. I know that I would be 
annoyed. 
  I think that you may be right with the Ginny thing. Draco will 
probably need to fall in love with someone that we like in order to 
make his becoming good more believable. It might not be Ginny though, 
maybe it's Hermione. I hope that doesn't happen; it would break my 
H/H ship! 
  Since you mentioned Crabbe and Goyle, I'm going to say that I don't 
think that they're evil, just stupid. While it is possible to be 
both, I don't think that it's likely. If they did join the Death 
Eaters, it would just be because someone told them to, not because 
they were really evil. For some reason I can't see them actually 
being in Slytherin. They don't seem very ambitious, do they? I think 
that JKR placed them in Slytherin because she figured we wouldn't 
mind if they were in the "evil" house, even though they didn't fit 
the house's qualifications.
