Tonks:
I was once in the Snape loves Narcissa camp until I switched to the 
Snape Loved Lily camp, so I can understand some of your POV. Chapter 
2 does easily lend itself to the ACID POPS theory. 

As to why Draco would want to dethrone Snape, isn't that normal teen 
behavior?  He would want to show the world that he was better than 
his teacher.  The student wants to outdo his mentor. Show the world 
(and himself) that he is a real man now and no longer just a  
student.  And the kid in him would want to make daddy proud for 
once. Just imagine what Lucius would say if Draco had been 
successful. I sure that Draco had that in mind as well.
