We have some evidence of Draco's intelligence. Think of all the times that
he got the "good guys" in trouble. It requires a working mind, a malicious
one, but still. However, Draco seems very much a spoiled brat. He is
favoured by Snape and knows it. He bought his way into the Quidditch Team.
He probably gets good greats but nothing really good or special, not because
he couldn't, but because he's doesn't seem like the kind to put actual
effort into something when he can get it with his father's money and
influence.
