	Not to me. Too young, and too bigoted. Not even in leather trousers.

	Potentially. I do think he's a spoiled bigoted child - but there
could be a cataclysmic event in the next books that may cause him to mature.

	I have the impression that he has friends among the Slytherins.  He
doesn't sound like someone who doesn't have a circle of support, like
Neville. I'm sure he appreciates having big slabs of muscle like Goyle &
Crabbe around, but he looks for intellectual conversation elsewhere.

> 1. Is he that stupid or is it an act?

	I think he's that stupid. When Ron & Harry were impersonating Crabbe
& Goyle, they were awkward and dense. Draco did not take their behaviour to
be out of the ordinary.

> 2. If he is that stupid, how did he get into Slytherin? What are his

> 
	I think his ambition is to align himself with someone who has power,
or the potential of power. A rich kid like Draco, with a well-connected
family, fits the bill.

	Ditto for Goyle. That stupid, and prefers to align with someone with
power, rather than be the one with the power. Sounds like Pettigrew, now
that I think about it.
