Draco Malfoy.
The anti of the boy who lived. The seven year long enemy of Harry Potter. Or so everybody thought. Draco, the son of the Death Eater Lucius Malfoy and the kid with a mean streak.
But there is more to the kid than we saw in the movies or read in the books. Here are a few reasons that he was way more messed up and misunderstood by everyone including the muggles who read the books.
1. He merely copied his father’s behavior as a child to get his approval.
He never had it, though. Lucius thought of him on as a weakling.
2. He had an increasingly overprotective and overindulgent mother.
He never had to take care of himself and in initial years of his life was taught to feel entitled to the entire world.
3. He never really knew what childhood really was.
He didn’t have a childhood like everyone else was supposedly having. He was constantly under the pressure of proving himself to his parents.
4. He lived in an environment where he wasn’t ever allowed to make decisions for himself.
His parents made the decisions for him. He never had to think for himself and when he did, he didn’t know what to do with it.
5. He wanted to be friends with Harry potter in the first place.
You’ve read it and seen it, haven’t you?
6. He had yes men for friends. So basically no friends.
Crabbe and Goyle were shit scared of him basically because of Draco’s father’s position in the Death Eater society.
7. He cared enough about Pansy Parkinson’s feelings for him to keep her around.
He didn’t dismiss her although he entirely loathed the way she clung on him like a leech.
8. As he grew up, he kept realising that he didn’t fit into his family’s ideals.
He felt very uncomfortable doing the things his father told him to do and the way his father behaved around his Death Eater friends.
9. The things that he believed were good were actually evil and he kept realising that as he was constantly exposed to them.
He started questioning the long held belief of what he had been told about the future of the wizarding world.
10. He didn’t see himself as a Death eater.
He didn’t want to do anything with that business.
11. He actually respected Dumbledore and didn’t want to kill him but was forced into taking up the job of doing it.
He had to free his father and it was the only way to do it.
12. He cried before mending the wardrobe in the Room of Requirements.
He didn’t want to let them in his school.
13. He subtly hinted to be on Harry’s side after Harry saved his life.
He understood quite late that he was always on the wrong side but he didn’t have a choice.
Still think he was a bad guy?
