After reading OOp I started to think that perhaps Severus was 
Draco's godfather.  I think that there is a special connection 
between Draco and Snape that I hasn't been in the books completely 
but there is some hint to it in OOP.  During one of the occulumency 
lessons Draco comes into the room, and Snape calls him by his first 
name.  I think he repeated this two or three times.  To me it 
indicates that Snape calls him by his first name when they are not 
in class.  I think this shows that Snape really cares for Draco in 
some form. I do not think that he is just "tolerating" him.  He may 
just be tolerating Crabbe and Goyle but I think he truly likes 
Draco.  The truth is he probably sees the potential that Draco has a 
human being.  


Bookworm:
I wondered about Snape calling him 'Draco' too, but don't think 
Snape "really cares" for him. Draco is too much of a coward (I 
*loved* the way Tom Felton portrayed him as the cowardly bully.) for 
Snape to respect.  IMO, Snape does not tolerate weakness.  If Snape 
sees potential, he obviously sees a side of Draco that I do not.  I 
suspect that attitude of closeness has more to do with Snape, 
Lucius, and Voldemort than it does with Draco.
