& Draco Malfoy in Ch 27 of GoF.

I'm not as concerned with Snape's perceptions about Draco or vice versa
as I am about how others perceive them both.  It seems that Snape's
peers viewed him in much the same way as Draco's peers view him.

Yeah ... but it seems Draco is reasonably well-liked amongst the
Slytherins in general.  That's my impression anyway.  I don't Crabbe &
Goyle are his only companions -- they are just the ones he's seen with
most often.
