Would believe I accidentally posted before adding Ron?

After my Nephew presented Draco as a match for Hermione, I presented 
Draco's character. Consider the incident at the World Cup. While 
masked Dark Wizard's levitated muggles(including a mother and little 
girl) Draco leered in the forest. As I remember it, Draco warned 
Harmione to "Watch out if you don't want everyone to see your 
knickers!" 

ladjables replied, "Draco's prejudice doesn't preclude normal, human, 
adolescent emotions. Hormones, those hormones determine feelings for 
the opposite/same sex! It's not rare for a prejudiced teen to have a 
crush on someone from another race/ethnicity/gender, because he 
simply can't help the way he feels!"

Personally, I consider Draco's hormones on the same level as caring 
for her? The incident brought to mind a son of a Grand Wizard 
reveling as his fathers group of Klansman milested a black woman. If 
he warned a black girl that she would be next would that show any 
feelings but the basest?

Meanwhile Ron witnessed the same incident of seeing a Muggle woman's 
knickers, and how did this 14 yo wizard handle his hormones? "That's 
sick!" he said.

Both Draco and Ron come from pureblood families, but both have 
distinctly different reactions. I see 2 distinct reasons for this

1) Moral upbringing - Arthur Weasley is an advocate for Muggle Rights 
and raised a large family with values of fairness and friendship. 
Draco is the only child of a follower of Lord Voldemort. He was 
raised with values of bullying, racism, and possibly murder.

2) If Ron was a bit slow on the uptake that Hermione is a girl, I 
blame this on the fact that he sees her as a good friend. He has only 
one younger sisters so probably doesn't know how to act around girls. 

Draco has two accomplices in bullying, but I wouldn't call there him 
and C&G friends on the level of HRH. Could you see any of them facing 
death for Draco? Could you even see them letting Draco stun them 
continuously for practice? 

Example of their 'friendship' ChofS Ch. 12: Draco to Harry 
(polyjuiced as Goyle) "Honestly, if you were any slower, you'd be 
going backward."

As for Harry and Ron? Example of their 'friendship' ChofS Ch. 16:
Harry to Ron when they discover the hidden entrance to the Chamber in 
Moaning Myrtle's bathroom: 
"I'm going down there," he (Harry) said.
He couldn't not go, not now they found the entrance to the Chamber, 
not if there was the faintest, slimmest, wildest chance that Ginny 
might be alive.
"Me too." said Ron.
