Me:

I'm not sure I agree that Draco is that much worse than James Potter. 
Draco makes rude comments, he is spiteful towards Harry and his 
friends and he sniggers a lot. A few times he has done some really 
bad things, but it's not like his favourite sport is to attack an 
unprepared and lonely student and humiliate this person in front of 
all his class mates. 

We did see him go overboard under the influence of Umbridge, which 
makes me believe this is a good reason for Snape to treat Draco the 
way he does. If Snape can make Draco trust and respect him, he might 
be able to use this in the future to prevent Draco from doing 
something really horrible. Snape might not be the best role model for 
most kids, but probably a perfect one for the Slytherins.
