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?


Sherry now

I think it's because Malfoy knows Harry will be popular, important and
famous.  He doesn't want Harry as a friend, someone to tell his secrets, to
share his life.  Malfoy wants to be in with Harry to bask in the glory of
who he thinks Harry Potter is.  It's very common in life, people wanting to
be buddies with the famous and important, so they themselves can be bigger
and more important.  I don't think it has a thing to do with a genuine
desire to be a friend to anyone.  It's only for the good of Draco Malfoy and
his family.
