Why, though? Again I have to point out: 

Snape is friends with Lucius.  Even if it is a false friendship or he's just 
using Lucius to get to LV for information, he's still friends with him (from 
what I/we can deduce from canon) 

Draco is a Slytherin.  Snape favours his students in his house-Slytherin.  It 
would be odd for him to single out and hate Draco. 

Maybe he does like Draco.  We haven't really gotten into Severus's mind to 
know how he picks favourites other than the fact that they're in his alma mater. 


I think you are suggesting that Snape should hate Draco because his father is 
with LV, whom he is against.  I must point out Snape's /supposed/ Double 
agent status.  Maybe he does hate that little brat and loathes having to 'be nice' 
to him to keep in good with Lucius, but can't express that because he needs 
to be on the Malfoy's good side. 

Are you also suggesting that Snape should NOT hate Harry because his father 
with against LV, like Snape?   This I don't buy.  From what we've seen, Snape 
isn't the type to set aside personal vendetta's...even for 'the cause'
