Del replies:
I'm not even sure Draco ever really understood the relationship
between Harry and Sirius. He knew Sirius was Harry's godfather, and he
apparently knew that Sirius was around Harry when Harry was in London,
but what else would he know? How could he know that Sirius had become
Harry's father figure? And as Gerry said, it's highly unlikely he knew
that Sirius was dead.

So as far as Draco is concerned, Harry put his (Draco's) father in
prison, Harry became the hero of the WW yet again, Hogwarts is going
back to the old DD-in-power period, and Harry apparently didn't suffer
anything in the process (unlike Ron and Hermione who ended up in the
hospital wing). No wonder he's mad at Harry.

Del, who *knows* Draco is mistaken to think that way, but that's not
what she's arguing in this post.
