Those two have more in common than they think. I believe that Draco 
Can and will be redeemed. 

NOW ME: Draco... redeemed? I'm not so sure of this, I mean the school 
needs a bully, and the wizard world needs jerks. Redeemed? No but 
yes, he is harmless

"Susan XG" said:
He's going to be the "Spike" of the series.

NOW ME: Good gravy! Someone other than me watches BUFFY! Yes, he is 
rather too easy to compare to Spike, isn't he, even without the 
blonde hair. Except of course he hasn't got a chip in his head... or 
has he?!?!?!

"Susan XG" said:
I don't think he really, truly knows how evil his father is

NOW ME: Of course not. Even if he does find out about his father's 
evilness, he'll dismiss it. There is no way he'll turn on his father. 
He sees his father do something and its okay for him to do it as 
well...

"Susan XG" said:
He's never really HURT someone.

NOW ME: Of course he's hurt someone. He's an evil git. Mentally, more 
people at Hogwarts will need a therapist than ever before!

"Susan XG" said:
Draco has been "conditioned" by his father to be the way he is (even 
going as far as wanting to send him to Durmstrang. (His mother didn't 
want that...), 

NOW ME: It's called Nature vs. Nurture We're studying Vygotsky's and 
Piaget at UNI and all of their "theories" Nature is more of instinct 
while Nurture is the behaviour we mimic as we see others do for 
example draco is a evil git, because his father is a git. Similarly, 
Lucius may genetically be a git therefore Draco is also a genetic git.
This is confusing...

He couldn't be a Death Eater. They are pure followers. That may be 
one of the reasons Snape watches him so closely. He doesn't want 
Malfoy to become what he was.

NOW ME: Gosh, I'd never thought of this before... Snape keeping a 
close eye... yes, it fits. Excellent deduction!
