Hey,
With all these posts about Draco, I just had to put in my 2 sickles worth.
Am I the only person in the world that just wants to give Draco a big hug and mother him?
Throughout all 4 books, I can't find one shred of evidence that L. Malfoy loves his son, or even cares about him past the whole "keeping the family honour" bit. IMVHO, I think that Draco is lonely. When he "hurts" his arm because he insulted BuckBeak, I don't think that getting Buckbeak killed or whatever was his only reason for acting more hurt than he was. I think that he was using it as an excuse, but deep down he just wanted compassion. I can't find many parts in the books besides that, that really show anyone showing him compassion.
With a father like L. Malfoy, one would think it would hard to be anything than what Draco is. I'm not saying it excuses his behavior, but I do think it would be nice in future books to see, in the least, glimpses of another side of Draco.
Once again, this is only my opinion, not to be trashed or told it's wrong. OPINION, not fact. Thank you.
