I don't get Draco love either. He's not a villain, he's just a bully, a bully who had one line he couldn't cross (murder), and didn't show any other particular strengths at anything in canon. People make him out to be way more than he is.

He's not even particularly stylish or clever! He's just some rich kid.

Yup. Both his parents are vastly superior characters.

As with like 80% of what we do here in fandom, it's usually more about fanon than canon. It's about the more dimensional and interesting character he could've been. It's like, what if the narrative had actually allowed him to be a complex character, and not just a one-dimensional bully? Draco Malfoy works very well as a character in a YA book, because his function in the narrative is uncomplicated. He exists to be easily identifiable as a POS with no positive qualities to speak of, so that when Harry is tormented by him, young readers can feel a strong and uncomplicated sense of outrage and injustice, and when Harry inevitably triumphs over him, young readers can feel a strong and uncomplicated sense of triumph and satisfaction. But a lot of older readers look at the character and just see a missed opportunity to add depth and dimension to the story by having a personality foil for Harry who isn't so one dimensional. *shrugs*

i think a lot of readers look at tom felton and think "he's way too hot to be irredeemably evil"
