Obviously, the turban represents Voldemort.  Now I'm wondering some 
things.  I haven't read PS/SS in a while, but didn't Draco try to 
cozy up to Harry at first (he insulted Ron, which was *not* the way 
to go about it) - could that have been directed, instructed or 
suggested by Voldemort, who wanted Harry to have nearly the same 
experiences he had, in order to coax him over to LV's side?..

ibchawz responds:
I don't really think that Quirrell!Mort would have approached Draco 
with this task.  Draco would have reported this back to Lucius.  I 
don't think LV would have wanted any of his Death Eaters seeing him 
in his weakened, parasitic state.  Since LV controls through 
intimidation instead of true loyalty, the Death Eaters could have 
seen his weakness as an opportunity to destroy him and end their 
Death Eater status.  LV waits until GOF, when he is powerful again, 
to summon his Death Eaters.

As of HBP, Malfoy is tasked to kill Dumbledore and bring Dementors 
into Hogwarts.  

ibchawz responds:
I have a slight technical correction. Malfoy did not bring 
*Dementors* into Hogwarts.  He brought *Death Eaters*.  I'm sure you 
were "thinking it right / typing it wrong" :).
