Snape here:

Don't know about Narcissa, but IMHO I think Draco is a magical 
version of Dudley.  I know Lucious sees no wrong in what Draco does 
but he doesn't gloss it over as Dudley's parents do.  Jumps him 
pretty good for losing out to a mudblood, but I also remember the 
comment made to Draco by Lucious stating that Draco should not let 
it be known that he dislikes HP. This just is for pretences 
though.       
     Dudley pals around with to smaller kids (dudley is the muscle), 
Draco pals around with two bigger kids (crabbe and goyle are the 
muscle, but draco is the brains).  Both Draco and Dudley are 
slightly sadistic and like to cause pain, Draco goes for mental pain 
and Dudley, with his serious lack of mental faculties, goes for 
physical pain.  Does JKR have plans for them?, I think so.  They 
were a prominent part of Umbridges plot to destroy Hogwarts, as they 
went around and basically made everyones day miserable (except for 
the slytherins) and fed information to Umbridge.  Draco was 
implemental in the stories printed in the Quibbler, he was the 
insider feeding information to whats her face.  He is also the one 
to tell on Harry any chance he got, even got himself in detention 
during SS. I think he may end up being the insider at hogwarts that 
feeds information about the DA to the DE's (his dad). Will Lucious 
then use this knowledge and his power of influence to get the DA 
disbanned and outlawed?  We can only wait and see.  And as far as 
him being pretty, he is always described as sharp faced and long 
nosed, vulturish maybe? If he thinks he is pretty he must be 
slightly delusional, probably caused by his mother.  Remember this 
just my opinion.
