"Many people see Draco not as plain evil, but as simply weakly following in 
his father's footsteps, and of accepting the values he's been shown 
without question, rather than embracing them of his own accord."  -Cygnus

I think Draco is mostly a rotten person. It's obvious that he thinks highly 
of himself and feels even more superior because of his "pure-blood" pedigree. 
I definitely don't think he's "plain evil." He's had a lot of bad influene 
from his father, but it's obvious he has strong opinions and not a lot of 
self-doubt or open-mindedness. I think Draco  will prove himself capable of 
doing some really terrible things, but he's still a pitiable character, as 
most pathetic people like himself are.
