I have another question to add to the list! (I'm going to make the 
forgive-me-if-this-has-been-discussed-before disclaimer because I'm 
new here.)

EVERY time I read SS, I always wonder why Harry didn't become friends 
with Draco, and why Draco wanted to become friends with Harry in the 
first place. Harry first meets Draco in Ch. 5, and their first 
converstation is actually friendly. Draco sounds somewhat snobby, but 
he certainly doesn't sound evil. And then on the train (here's when 
Ch. 6 comes in), Draco still attempts to be Harry's friend. Harry 
could have taken Draco's side as easily as he took Ron's. (Remember, 
Harry was meeting them all before he knew about the rules of the 
wizarding world. For all Harry knew, Draco could have been the good 
guy and Ron could have been the bad one.) So what, ultimately, made 
Harry choose Ron as a friend? And why did Draco want to be friends 
with Harry?

OK, that's my two sense for my first post. I look forward to posting 
more in the future.
