Yes, yes, definitely, Phoenixgod.

Alla:

I think Phoenixgod meant that Draco always picks up fights with 
Harry, Harry only defends himself. Are you saying it is not so? If 
yes, could you give me an example when 
Harry was the one to pick the fight with Draco?

Phoenixgod is absolutely correct, IMO, or at least he correctly 
picked up on another reason for my lack of sympathy for Draco.:-) He 
CHOOSES to pick up fights with Harry. Now, despite that fact I could 
have feel for him, IF he picked those fights with Harry for the 
RIGHT reasons. You know, if Draco was doing it to fight the bad guy. 
But Draco does it for all the wrong reasons, IMO. His lack of morals 
is what does it for me.

Now, you could argue that in Draco's mind  he IS doing it for the 
right reasons, but to me as I said before definitions of "right" 
and "wrong" in Potterverse very clearly defined whether we look at 
it with Harry's eyes or not.

Just my opinion,

Alla
