I'm not arguing against that. But I've been re-reading CoS and I found
that little tidbit, that Hagrid said to Arthur:
"Yeh should've ignored him, Arthur. Rotten to the core, the whole
family, everyone knows that. No Malfoy's worth listenin' ter. Bad
blood, that's what it is."

Even some of the good guys seem to have a problem with the issue of
good and bad blood. I find it particularly interesting that Hagrid
should say that in CoS, the very book that deals with the blood issue.
