Magpie:

You make it sound like they're doing something unusual or rebellious in 
punishing him.  Snape blatantly favors the Slytherins (no matter which 
Slytherin is involved), and out of those Malfoy is his individual favorite 
(he gives Crabbe and Goyle detention in HBP and says he's being 
exceptionally patient when Draco doesn't follow his orders to come to his 
office because of their personal relationship).  What's even more extreme is 
Snape's *unfair* treatment of Harry, whom he personally dislikes more than 
any other student.  (Though he's also giving him positive special treatment 
if you consider his protection that.)

Other teachers treat Malfoy like any other student.  McGonagall, Fake!Moody, 
Hagrid and Filch are all shown treating him like a student in need of 
discipline.
