You'll find little disagreement on this from me - it seems implicit in
that scene that at a minimum, Hermione is the only student with Muggle
parentage to achieve marks that are higher than Draco's, although
technically, from Lucius' words, it's entirely possible that one or more
"pure-blooded" Ravenclaws were higher than Draco - Lucius might not've
minded that quite as much.
