Draco, like TDL, didn't have any real friends; he had minions--Crabbe, 
Goyle, Parker.  Malfoy was drawn to Harry's power and fame to bath in 
that reflected glory and make alliances to further his (or his dad's) 
cause.  In this respect Draco is a bit like Slughorn, only more 
sinister.  Slytherins use people like Kleenex.
