I don't see a contradiction here. Hermione has better grades than Draco
in everything, including Potions - if we take Lucius words literally.
So Hermione is his best student, but Draco is his favourite - happens all
the time in real life. If I had a pound for every teacher that gave me good
grades
without liking me...

So, Voldemort disappeared after meeting baby Harry. Does Dumbledore believe
he is gone for good? Not likely, if even Hagrid is not that optimistic.
Lucius and his friends are up to no good, with or without Voldemort. So it
is
very probable that Dumbledore asked Snape to continue his game.
If that is the case, Draco knew Snape before he came to Hogwarts.
