Discussion Questions:


2. The narrator explains that Harry considers
Draco Malfoy to be a worse
enemy than Dudley.  Why?  Malfoy's threats to
Harry are hardly more
sophisticated than Dudley's; the only difference
appears to be that Malfoy's
enmity is based on his philosophy rather than mere
sibling piggishness.
Harry appears to have developed a shell against
sneers, so why should
Malfoy's bother him more than Dudley's?

> Malfoy's enmity is far worse then D's. Why?
Well, because his hatred is based on a
'philosophy', on the way Draco has been brought
up. Ickle Dudleykins only copies his father's
behaviour. Granted, this behaviour can be
dangerous enough, but it is not murderous, like
the Malfoy's. Dudley is simply stupid, the Malfoys
are evil but I secretely think there is hope still
for Draco.
