Then there's the scene where Draco is introduced as the new Slytherin
Seeker. The two Quidditch teams are faced off against each other,
the usual insults are exchanged. Then suddenly Hermoine sticks her
nose in (you *know* she dragged Ron into it) where it doesn't
belong. She's not on the team; this is not her battle. But Hermione
has a hard time staying out of things and so she accuses Draco of
buying his way onto the team. That's a pretty damn personal insult.
Before, the insults where fairly generic - my broom's better than
yours, etc. Hermione though, takes the insults to a whole new level
and attacks Draco directly.

Draco did buy his way onto the team. He is a loser! This is the
reason that Draco is justified in hating Hermione and calling her a
mud**ood? What strange reasoning? No wonder JKR is shocked by the
many fans of Snape and Draco. Role models should be people you look
up to. People who have the courage to stand up against what is wrong
in this world. If Draco and Snape are now what people put up on a
pedestal, what does that say about our society?
My grandmother once told me to never associate with or venerate people
that could bring me down. She said to always admire and become
friends with people that had the ability to make me a better person;
people I could learn from--via their example. She also said that
garbage always surrounds itself with garbage. And that I could always
judge people by those they called friend. Draco hangs out with Crab
and Goyle, and Harry hangs out with Hermione and Ron. I think you get
my point.
Oh yeah, she also said that if you admire crap, then you're crap too.
The reason why Draco hates Hermione is because he will never be as
good a wizard as Hermione is a witch. It's called jealousy. Hermione
is also a constant reminder of how illogical racism is. You cannot
really justify pureblood ideology when your enemy is a better
witch/wizard then you will ever be. Hermione is a constant reminder
of how the DE mentality/agenda fails. Hilter couldn't stand to be
reminded of his own failure as a human being either. That's why he
murdered millions of people in order to put forward his false
ideology.
