I don't know that Crabbe and Goyle are what you'd call bosom buddys
for Draco. I imagine that Draco is rather lonely at times. Part of
the reason I have sympathy for him.

vmonte responds:
Can you quote any canon to prove that Draco is lonely? And that Crab 
and Goyle are not his friends/goonies.

snip of what I hope was not a personal attack, because that would
lessen your arguments just as much as Draco's own language issues
lessen his.

vmonte responds:
This comment was not directed to you at all. Sorry, I can see why you 
would think so.

>I vmonte wrote:
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.<

>Betsy wrote:
I agree that this is one of the reasons Draco (hate is a strong word,
I think) dislikes Hermione. His father uses her as a weapon against
him. Of course Draco starts to resent the cause of his pain.
(Though if Draco really is second only to Hermione in the school
standings it does stand to reason that he'd be better than her at
*some* subjects. He's better at flying than she is for example.)

vmonte responds:
Ok, he dislikes Hermione because she is a better witch. I still say 
he hates her because she is a mudblood too.

Draco quotes -

"You'll soon find out some some wizarding families are much better 
than others, Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the 
wrong sort. I can help you there."- to Harry, Book 1

"No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood"- to Hermione, 
Book 2 

"Saint Potter, the Mudbloods' friend. He's another one with no proper 
wizard feeling, or he wouldn't go around with that jumped up Granger 
Mudblood. And people think he's Slytherin's heir! I wish I knew who 
it is. I could help them."

"Father won't tell me anything about the last time the Chamber was 
opened, either. Of course, it was fifty years ago, so it was before 
his time, but he knows all about it, and he says that it was all kept 
quiet and it'll look suspicious if I know too much about it. But I 
know on thing: last time the Chamber of Secrets opened, a Mudblood 
died. So I bet it's a matter of time before one of them's killed this 
time... I hope it's Granger."

"Enemies of the Heir, beware! You'll be next, Mudbloods!"

"Well, go up to the hospital wing and give all those Mudbloods a kick 
from me. You know, I'm surprised the Daily Prophet hasn't reported 
all these attacks yet. I suppose Dumbledore's trying to hush it all 
up. He'll be sacked if it doesn't stop soon. Father's always said 
Dumbledore's the worst thing that's ever happened to this place. He 
loves Muggle-borns. A decent headmaster would never've let slime like 
that Creevey in. Potter, can I have your picture, Potter? Can I have 
your autograph? Can I lick your shoes, please, Potter?"

"Father says to keep my head down and let the hair of Slytherin get 
on with it. He says the school needs ridding of all the Mudblood 
filth, but not to get mixed up in it. Of course, he's got a lot on 
his plate at the moment. You know the Ministry of Magic raided our 
Manor last week? Luckily, they didn't find much. Father's got some 
very valuable Dark Arts stuff. But luckily, we've got our own secret 
chamber under the drawing room floor-"

"I always thought Father might be the one who got rid of Dumbledore. 
I told you he thinks Dumbledore's the worst Headmaster the school's 
ever had. Maybe we'll get a decent Headmaster now. Someone who won't 
want the Chamber of Secrets closed. McGonagall won't last long, she'd 
only filling in... Sir, why don't you apply for the Headmaster's 
job?" The ending statement was towards Snape.

I expect you'd have Father's vote, sir, if you wanted to apply for 
the job. I'll tell Father you're the best teacher here... I'm quite 
surprised the Mudbloods haven't all packed their bags by now. Bet you 
five galleons the next one dies. Pity it wasn't Granger."


Other Draco quotes:

"Sure you can manage that broom, Potter?" said a cold, drawling voice.
Draco Malfoy had arrived for a closer look, Crabbe and Goyle right 
behind him.
"Yeah, reckon so," said Harry casually.
"Got plenty of special features, hasn't it? said Malfoy, eyes 
glittering maliciously. "Shame it doesn't come with a parachute--in 
case you get too near a Dementor." Crabbe and Goyle sniggered.
"Pity you can't attach an extra arm to yours, Malfoy," said 
Harry. "Then it could catch the Snitch for you."- Book 3 

"Longbottom, if brains were gold then you'd be poorer than Weasley, 
and that's saying something."- Draco to Neville.

"Not as surprised as I am to see you in a shop, Weasley," retorted 
Malfoy. "I suppose your parents will go hungry for a month to pay for 
all those [books]." 
--Draco (CoS)

"And there's a picture, Weasley!" said Malfoy, flipping the paper 
over and holding it up. "A picture of your parents outside their 
house - if you can call it a house! Your mother could do with losing 
a bit of weight, couldn't she?" 
--Draco (GoF)

"My father's next door buying my books and mother's up the street 
looking at wands. Then I'm going to drag them off to look at racing 
brooms. I don't see why first-years can't have their own. I think 
I'll bully father into getting me one and I'll smuggle it in somehow."

"I play Quidditch. Father says it's a crime if I'm not picked to play 
for my house, and I must say, I agree. Know what house you'll be in 
yet?"

"I know I'll be in Slytherin, all my family have been- imagine being 
in Hufflepuff, I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?"

"Oh, I've heard of him. He's sort of a servant, isn't he?" Referring 
to Hagrid.

"Yes, exactly. I heard he's a sort of savage- lives in a hut in the 
school grounds and every now and then he gets drunk, tries to do 
magic and ends up setting fire to his bed." Referring to Hargrid 
again.

"I'd take you on any time on my own. Tonight, if you want. Wizard's 
duel. Wands only- no contact. What's the matter? Never heard of a 
wizard's duel before, I suppose?" To Potter.

"What would you know about my comet, Weasley, you couldn't afford 
half the handle. I suppose you and your brothers have to save up, 
twig by twig."

"I do feel so sorry for all those people who have to stay at Hogwarts 
for Christmas because they're not wanted at home."

"Would you mind moving out of the way? Are you trying to earn some 
extra money, Weasley? Hoping to be a gamekeeper yourself when you 
leave Hogwarts, I suppose- that hut of Hagrid's must seem like a 
palace compared to what your family's used to."

"You know how I think they choose people for the Gryffindor team? 
It's people they feel sorry for. See, there's Potter, who's got no 
parents, then there;s the Weasley's, who've got no money- you should 
be on the team, Longbottom, you've got no brains."

"You're in luck, Weasley, Potter's obviously spotted some money on 
the ground!"

"What's the good of a racing broom if I'm not on the house team? 
Harry Potter got a Nimbus Two Thousand last year. Special permission 
from Dumbledore so he could play for Gryffindor. He's not even that 
good, it's just because he's famous... famous for having a stupid 
scar on his forehead... everyone thinks he's so smart, wonderful 
Potter with his scar and his broomstick..."

"Weasley would like a signed photo, Potter. It'd be worth more than 
his family's whole house."

"I'm the new Slytherin seeker, Weasley. Everyone's just been admiring 
the brooms my father's bought our team."

"Good, aren't they? But perhaps the Gryffindor team will be able to 
raise some gold and get new brooms too. You could raggle off those 
Cleansweep Fives, I expect a museum would bid for them.

"Arthur Weasley loves Muggles so much he should snap his wand in half 
and go and join them. You'd never know the Weasleys were pure-bloods, 
the way they behave."

The Lexicon has a great write up on Draco.
