Me:
I agree. Draco didn't make the wisest choice by shouting out his allegiance 
to the Dark Side like that. Furthermore, I don't think Lucius will be too 
happy when he finds his son knocked unconscious and gets the whole story 
from him. I think maybe the reason Draco chose to brag about Voldy's return 
is because he *had* returned. I'm sure after years of hearing about how 
great and powerful the Dark Lord was, Draco now thinks that Lucius' 
precautions aren't necessary. Now, I'm not sure this is due to stupidity, 
more like disillusionment about what the world will be like now that 
Voldemort has returned.

As for the Cedric correction, that definitely wasn't a stupid thing to do - 
at least not from Draco's point of view. His aim at the time was to piss 
Harry off, and reminding him about Cedric's death certainly did the 
trick...maybe a little too well ;)
