Bart:
And Harry could probably not react in any other way. To him, Draco was the WW equivalent of the Dursley's. One might be seduced into becoming that which one hates the most, but it just does not happen that quickly, or easily. Now, had Draco known the circumstances in which Harry was raised, and had been encouraged by the Ass (OK, who gets THAT reference?), he MIGHT have been able to turn him into a Slytherin ("What a fate, to be raised among muggles, like a mudblood! They were mean to you because they knew how much better you were than them. Let me show you what a REAL wizard is like!"). My best guess is that it was no coincidence that Harry ran into the Weasleys, although I'm certain that Mollywobbles didn't know that.
