Draco in CoS

While rereading CoS last night I was struck by something Draco says in
the Slytherin common room to the polyjuiced Ron and Harry.  After
reminding "Crabbe and Goyle" that he has no idea who the Heir of
Slytherin is, is says [paraphrasing from memory], "I wish I did know,
then I could help out."

Am I nuts to detect a wistful desire to be of use to people in a good
way on Draco's part?  It's the only sympathetic phrase I can remember
coming out of his mouth.
