Now me: (Your mom reminds me of Mrs. Weasley! {grin}) Anyhoo, your 
thoughts just got me thinking...how talented is Draco? I wish I had 
the books for the exact quotes (I believe they appear in the 
beginning of CoS, when Lucius and Draco are in Borgin & Burkes). 
They spend an awful lot of time talking about grades and I got the 
impression that the only person who's grades topped Draco's was 
Hermione? Lucius seemed miffed not only that Draco was not head of 
the class, but possibly more so because Draco was bettered by a 
Muggle, of all people. And this seems to be a good part of Draco's 
bitterness towards Hermione too. Just a thought. Wondering what you 
all think.
