Draco

I've been reading with great interest all the posts about Draco and the fanfics and he really  is the character we all love to hate.  However, I do not believe that he is as important a person as most of us and he himself seems to think.

I see Draco as simply a bully and malicious troublecauser.  We have no hint that he has a deeper character than simple racism (mudbloods) and hiding behind his two companions.  He is so desperate for success and fame that he uses his father's money to buy his way on to the quiddich team and is spiteful enough to try and get Hagrid fired for his own mistake.

His big mouth gets him into trouble more than once, he can't keep secrets (note how he hints about the tolement in GOF and Black's 'murder victims' in POA) and he's more than willing to spill dirt on Harry to Rita.

While it is commonly supposed that Draco will join the DEs, I don't think that will happen, although for a surprising reason.  I can't see LV wanting him too much, what does he bring to the DEs?  He may be cunning, but he can't keep his mouth shut and he has a knack of making enemies out of people.  

Personally, I think Draco is an inflated person.
