zgirnius:
I do not recall either of the characters named acknowledging any such 
thing. I don't recall Draco ever in any way acknowledging himself 
is 'lesser than' *or* 'evil'. When did this take place?

Snape, on the other hand, implicitly acknowledges the evil of his 
youthful choices in that he makes different ones later, and regrets the 
evil ones, but this has, in the text, everything to do with what Snape 
has done (endanger Lily by reporting the prophecy) and nothing to do 
with what House he was in as a schoolboy. As far as acknowledging that 
he is 'lesser than'...lesser than who? I do not recall his 
acknowledging himself to be 'lesser than' anyone, humility does not 
seem a prominent character trait of Severus Snape, to me anyway.
