Chris:  I would have to agree with Tamara here. Draco doesn't strike 
as one who is all that clever at all. Or all that talented a wizard, 
either. Like Dudley, Draco constantly has an entourage around him for 
protection. Draco knows that on his own, he wouldn't stand a chance 
against Harry, or Hermione for that matter. So he has his goons with 
him most of the time. Plus, he's picked a fight on the Hogwarts 
Express at least twice, and paid the price for it. Not very clever, in 
my opinion.

As far as the injury to his arm...I think any person with a talent for 
whining and sucking up, such as Draco, and a powerful, influential 
father such as Lucius, could weasel his way out of anything. Draco is 
not clever, he's just a big baby and knows how to play up his talent.
