I don't see a real comparison here at all.  Dudley is a street punk, 
breaking laws and picking on small children.  Draco's authority is 
given to him by the school authorities, and while he does take away 
house points for no reason at all, he doesn't really squash anyone.  
Arynn:
Draco never gets physical in the books without his bodyguards (crabbe and Goyle) there to protect him. He never even gets physical, he just lets them be the muscle, he consideres himself the brain. The only physical situations he finds himself in are when his attitude causes other people to attack him.
 
Remember the scene in PS when Harry jumps on his broom to get the rememberall back, when he reminds Draco that Crabbe and Goyle aren't up there to protect him, Draco ends the confrontation quickly. Draco is afraid to be hurt. 
 
When he gets attacked by the hippogriff, he screams and then yells, "I'm dying!" and "It's killed me". This is a major over reaction to a cut on the arm, especally in the wizarding world, where cuts can be healed instantly. I've had cuts on the arm that were deep enough to be showing the layer of fat underneath, and required 24 stiches, and I never reacted that melodramatically, (and I'm a girl). It seems Draco's a little drama queen.
