Betsy Hp:
For me, it's interesting on a couple of different levels.  First, 
Draco really doesn't seem to know anything about Voldemort or 
Voldemort's goals.  He seems to have only a surface grasp of what 
the Death Eaters are all about.  The propaganda rather than the 
actuality.  (Shades of Regulus?)

Second, I think Draco is still stung from Harry's rejection of him 
in PS/SS.  And that's especially interesting to me, because I think 
it is significant that Draco was the only person interested in 
befriending Harry before knowing that he was *the* Harry Potter.

I have this niggling suspicion that Harry and Draco will end up as 
friends.  I feel like JKR's been foreshadowing a future friendship 
almost from their very first meeting.
