Snape at least is badass. Like, you can sort of respect him because he's an excellent wizard and was able to defend his mind from fucking Voldemort. Doesn't excuse his MANIFEST character flaws and choices, like bullying little children, but he did have something to respect. Draco was always such a jealous little weenie. I NEVER got why he was so popular. He wasn't a true rival to Harry, they weren't equals, he was always panting after Harry, trying to measure up and failing.
