No: HPFGUIDX 8471

I'm borrowing John Walton's Description Outline for each character -
it's a
*great* framework!
========================================
Character Summary: Draco Malfoy
aka
"TooSexyToDieGuy"
========================================
 Name: Draco Malfoy

 Age: We don't know if he's older or younger than Harry, but as they are
the same year, he was born in either 1979 or 1980, and is 10 or 11 when
he first appears, in Madame Malkin's shop

Description: Blond, light grey eyes, pointy features, sneers a lot, well
dressed, or at least wealthily dressed. He has floppy hair on the
Mystery at Hogwarts card, at least in silhouette. Believed by many
fanfiction writers, teenage witches and grown women to look good in
leather. 

Job: 	Student, Slytherin House
	Slytherin Seeker, 2nd year forward

Personality: Very sarcastic, witty (yes, it's canon - his comment about
the blast ended skrewts is, at least), pretty good mimic (immitates
Colin in CoA), bigot (CoA. The whole book.), most likely at least
semi-smart (In the KNockturn Alley scene in CoA, lucius implies that he
expected Draco to be top of the class but he was trumped by Hermione),
sucks up to Snape (CoA, while Dumbledore is suspended), violent streak
(although there is some argument that when he "tried" to curse Harry in
GoF, he was just trying to get his attention & missed on purpose),
cowardly streak (ran from Voldemort in PS/SS)

Special abilities:

              * Can be transformed into a ferret in a single bound
              * Pretty good in potions
              * Keeps up on the news of the outside world (he's always
the one with newspapers & magazines in his hands)
	      * Good seeker. 3rd year, he has a 3-1 record, and likely only
lost to Harry because Harry had a faster broom. 

Obsessions:

	Harry Potter. The times we see Draco when he doesn't know Harry is
there, namely the Slytherin Common Room scene of CoS, and in Knockturn
Alley, he doesn't stop talking about Harry

Good qualities:
	
	Just because we haven't seen them in the text doesn't mean they're not
there. Or something like that.

Relationships:

	Took Pansy Parkinson to the Yule Ball
	Son of Lucius & Narcissa Malfoy
	Fanfiction pairs him with Hermione and Pansy on a regular basis, one
story paired him with Professor Sinistra, and slash stories pair him
with Harry, Ron, occasionally Snape and once, for some reason, Neville

Questions:
1. Is Draco sexy?
2. Is Draco redeemable?
3. Does he have any friends? I don't mean flunkies or minders, I mean
someone who he can have a conversation with. If not, could he?

========================================
Character Summary: Vincent Crabbe
aka
"Thing One"
========================================
 Name: Vincent Crabbe

 Age: We don't know if he's older or younger than Harry, but as they are
the same year, he was born in either 1979 or 1980, and is 10 or 11 when
he first appears, on the train to Hogwarts

Description: Thickset, mean looking, thick necked, pudding bowl haircut,
long gorilla arms and a flat nose

Job: Draco's bodyguard
     Student, Slytherin House

Personality: Thugish, appears to be stupid, but is likely slightly
smarter than Goyle; Draco chooses him as his second for the "wizard's
duel" in PS/SS

Special abilities:

              * None disclosed to date

 RELATIONSHIPS:

              Son of Crabbe The Death Eater. No romantic relationships
in the canon. Has been paired with Hermione and Goyle in fanfiction, and
fanfic writers have portrayed him as having a crush on Draco

Questions:
1. Is he that stupid or is it an act?
2. If he is that stupid, how did he get into Slytherin? What are his
ambitions? Where is his cunning?
