<<Avital:
Sherrie, Malfoy's not as bad as you think he is. He has come from the wrong family and therefore tries to become a Death Eater (I think) in the 6th book, but his heart's really not in it. Remember the part right before Dumbledore dies when Malfoy lowers his wand a fraction of an inch? That shows that Malfoy would probably go on the Order of the Phoenix's side if not for his parents and the fact that Voldemort will kill him without hesitation if he does.>>
   
  Avital,
  I just had to jump in and agree with you about Draco.  He's my second favorite character after Harry, and I adore him.  I think that you're right - he was raised to have this set of values and, in the end, it's not who he is.  He's an only child, which means that there's a lot of pressure on him to live up to his father's wishes and reputation.  But I think that he's not heartless, the way that a Death Eater needs to be.  However, I think he's too weak in heart (and in his ideas of who he truly is) to be on the Order's side either.  He's been told what he ought to be for so long that it will take him awhile to find out who and what he ACTUALLY is.  So my view on Draco is that he's definitely not evil - he's just weak and confused and wonderful, hehe.  I love complicated characters, and Jo is brilliant at creating them.  I think that Snape is her greated invention, but Draco is certainly high up there.
