ability to be very astute when he's reading Harry or putting a 
sequence of events together that leads to Harry being involved 
somehow.  If he's that sharp, then what does he see in Draco?  I 
doubt that Snape sees Draco as the most fantastic kid in the school - 
and he can't be so blindly loyal to his House that only Draco appeals 
to him.  So what does Draco have the catches Snape attention?

Assuming that Draco is not totally stupid, may be he is just  
genuinely interested in potions? After all, Snape appears to be an 
adequate teacher, who is passionate about his subject. The only 
reason Gryffindors do not enjoy Potions does not apply to Draco. So 
it's not too far-fetched for Draco to be Snape's favourite student 
just because he is good at his subject.
