i've always wondered this...


in GoF, Draco Malfoy says to Harry on the train ride back:
"'You've picked the losing side, Potter!  I warned you!  I told you you ought to choose your 
company more carefully, remember?  When we met on the train, first day at Hogwarts?  I 
told you not to hang around with riffraff like this!'  He jerked his head at Ron and 
Hermione.  'Too late now, Potter!  They'll be the first to go, no the Dark Lord's back!  
Mudbloods and Muggle-lovers first! ..."  (p 729, hardcover)


why, WHY, would Draco want to become friends with Harry?  It is obvious that he wants 
Harry on his side, but to me, that does not make sense.  why would he want Harry Potter, 
the guy, the Dark Lord's downfall, as his friend?  when his own father despises Harry 
Potter?


now, in my opinion, Draco wants Harry as a friend, although that might seem like a stretch 
to some of you.


BUT, you cannot deny that Draco ADVISED Harry not to go making friends with "Mudbloods 
and Muggle-lovers"  So, this is EVIDENCE that Draco wanted Harry at least on his side.  
Draco WANTED Harry to be a prejudiced pureblood kinda guy.


WHY?
