I agree with you on that one.  My question about Draco is why people 
keep defending his intelligence.  What evidence is there that Draco is 
intelligent?

I am not saying he is a complete moron (like Crabbe and Goyle are, 
with their grunting selves), but I don't get the feeling he studies, 
he never does anything on his own, he doesn't pay attention in class 
(which is why he was attacked by Buckbeak), and seems to spend more 
time on Harry than he does perfecting his magic.  That's not too 
bright.  When his father reminded him that he shouldn't be too proud 
that Hermione had better grades than Draco, it didn't make me think he 
was near her with his marks.  It made me think that his grades were 
not anything to be proud of at all.

In fact, he doesn't even have good aim - he should have been able to 
hit Harry with his hex.  They were in the hall, not on the Quidditch 
field!
