Alla:

Very true, Nora. I don't see Draco, especially after OOP, ever 
defying Lucius and leaving Malfoys' nest. I don't think that he 
cannot, but I think that JKR wrote him in the corner.

It is a VERY big difference for me, even the curcial one.

And yes, we cannot match the parrallels too closely, unfortunately.

When Dumbledore says that Snape and James were like Harry and Draco, 
does it mean that we saw many similarities between Snape and Draco or 
James and Draco?
