I still have hope for Draco. 
The way Draco talks and behaves, it's clear he upholds the ideals of 
his father, with respect to pure-bloods, social strata and all the 
possible divisions that have been discussed. He also seems quite fond 
of quoting his father. It's as though his father is being channelled 
though him - it's all his father's thoughts and ideas. The question 
remains whether Draco really shares these beliefs, or is merely using 
his father to protect himself.

In general terms: they're kids. They've been brought up in a certain 
way by their parents, live with the ideals of their parents. They do 
kid stuff, but it's coloured by their background. When they see more 
of the world, when they mature a bit, they're going to have their own 
ideas of the world and the people in it. 

Right now, to me, Draco seems to parrot his father - he seems 
sheltered. It's my personal belief that his eyes are going to be 
opened (maybe even by Snape) although the alternative – Draco being 
his father's "puppet" and a willing pawn – is also likely. (but that 
doesnt mean I have to accept it :) )
