I simply do not make the same interpretation.  Draco never actually 
makes any reference to Harry's "blood-type" as it were.  He refers to 
Hermione in the worst possible terms as a "jumped up mudblood"  He 
obviously feels Harry's regard for Hermione is ill-placed.  However, 
IMO , this is not because he considers Harry to be a pureblood.  IMO, 
Draco feels that even a half-blood should not consider Hermione worth 
his attention.  He also considers Ron a poor choice for a friend-but 
this is based on the poverty of Ron's family-not his heritage.  What 
can I say?  I consider Draco to exemplify the absolutely worst 
aspects of human nature. He is a reflection, of course, of his 
father. He assesses people on their heritage and financial status. 
Harry, of course, does the exact opposite. This is shown by who has 
chosen to be his two best friends: Ron Weasley (impoverished) and 
Hermione Granger ( a "mudblood").

Draco lovers)
