So because Draco accidently insulted Harry's mum he should be excused?
The only accident here is Draco not verifying thouroughly enough that
Harry was the right kind. <sarcasm> Poor Draco, messed up his chance
to be friends with Harry Potter because he accidently let slip how
much he despises people like Harry's mum.</sarcasm>
