Of course nicely, I am also a absolutely newbie :-). Well, but the 
hat told Harry, that he could be powerful in Slytherin. So it seemed 
to be a realistic choice. But in spite of this I agree with you. It 
is said, that the hat barely toched Draco's head, when he sorted him 
into Slytherin. So he wouldn't have enough time, to offer him another 
possibilitie.
