> You forget option 6:  Snape is a double agent who has made friends 
with Lucius in order to get information from Voldy's inner circle 
and "likes" Draco so no one will get suspicious.  Besides, he favours 
everyone in his own house-Slytherin-so it would be odd if he singled 
Draco out, especially when he is the son of his 'best friend'. Keep 
in mind, as far as we know Lucius (or any other DE for that matter)
doesn't know that Snape is working against LV now. Also, remember 
Draco is a spoiled brat.

How about option 7:

Severus Snape is a card-carrying member, nay, an elected officer of 
the Awkward Squad. As such, he resolutely refuses to be pigeonholed. 
He will damn well favour Draco Malfoy (the Slytherin alpha male) if 
he wants to and to hell with what we think about it. Part of his 
beguiling complexity as a character is his contradictions - though we 
are told again and again that he's on the side of the Order, he 
hasn't quite surrendered the last of that "little oddball up to his 
eyes in the dark arts," up to history yet, has he?

Astrofiammante (who thinks that if the previous thread about JKR only 
giving good guys the good lines was on track, Snape is probably due 
to save the world.)
