Default Is Malfoy really evil?

Ok!
so Snape is the Half-blood prince! He killed Dumbledore and helped the death eaters in the 6th book yadda yadda yadda.....
but what about Malfoy?

he could have killed dumbledore himself, yet he didnt. There have been talks around about Malfoy and Harry teaming up...
so the question is

IS MALFOY REALLY EVIL???

personally.. i dont think he is.. what do you think?

There is only one evil and it's Voldemort. We can't call Draco evil, because as you said he didn't kill Dumbledore. But Harry and Draco teaming up? No. No way. I don't think Rowling would do that. Since the first book he is the bad character and I don't see he is suddenly turning into a good person.

Draco is not evil, he is coward.

Call me crazy but... I think it's possible that Draco will actually be some good. If you notice he is much influenced by his father, yet he doesn't feel comfortable around him because Lucius is mean to Draco.

The sorting hat has been singing songs about the Houses being united for sometime now. I would believe this has a meaning behind it. Dumbledore and Draco had a strange conversation.

If you believe that Snape is actually on Dumbledore's side, as I do, then you may agree with me if you don't... sorry.

Snape told Draco to leave Dumbledore for him, and Dumbledore had to keep something going until Snape arrived and he made Harry watch him talking to Draco. I don't think Draco is evil but he is mean and rude to people but evil is different. Voldemort, Barty Jr. and Bellatrix are the most evil characters in the story.

I believe Draco is confused. He grew up with a Death Eater, yet he didn't kill Dumbledore. It appears to me that Draco doesn't want to follow his father's footsteps.

I agree with you. I think Dumbledore didn't want Draco to kill him because that would have meant he'd turn to dark side for good. He made Harry watch because because he wanted him to change his opinion on Draco, who he always saw as pure evil. He wanted him to understand the reasons why Draco behaves the way he does.

Draco's not evil. His family just had a bad influence on him and he probably feels like he should continue with the Malfoy's traditions, even though he doesn't really want to.

I think it could happen, Draco helping Harry in some way. I don't know that there would be a partnership, but still, I agree that there could be some good in Draco.

Yeah. Well I just remembered that I think JK once denied that Draco would team up with Harry to defeat Voldemort. This makes me hesitate.

I think Draco has a tough exterior, but really, he's scared. He didn't kill Dumbledore, so that must count for something! I don't know if he'll actually turn good, but I don't think he's bad down to the core.

Default Draco just makes sure he is in league with the biggest bully in the playground.

Draco Malfoy is not evil -- he is a coward. He is scared of Lord Voldemort - and he was also scared of Dumbledore.

I doubt that Draco will ever help Harry. I think that he will turn out to be a coward. He didn't have the guts to kill Dumbledore but he also doesn't have the guts to face Voldemort. Just my opinion.

I definitely don't think Draco is evil. As Tom Felton says, he's just someone that thinks they are cool. He is rich, so he struts and acts as though he is a royal prince or something. But he isnt evil. I know it.

At least, I hope it.

I don't think Draco's evil. Maybe just a small little boy, scared and kind at heart, but doesn't like to show it. He was assigned to kill Dumbledore but couldn't do it. Wouldn't that tell you something that there's good in him somewhere?

Of course Malfoy is evil. The questions we all need to be asking are...

1. Is Malfoy already a Death Eater?
2. Will Malfoy turn to the light?

Yes, he is. He has the dark mark, hasn't he?
If you mean the good side by the light, he can't turn. They wouldn't let him.

Yep! He is a deatheater. May be the youngest DE at all. He had the DM, remember??

No, he won't. He got only a chance when DD asked him but because he realized that he is wrong but because he was scared. Malfoy will return to Voldemort.

Draco's not really evil,he's a bully and we all know that bullies are cowards .If Snape hadn't arrived,I dont think that Draco would have killed Dumbledore .Anyway,since his parents support Voldemort,so automatically he too supports them.This is natural in most cases,with some exceptions like Sirius Black.But,I dont think he's got the guts to support Harry and confront Voldemort.

Actually, it is possible that Draco does not have the Dark Mark.

I read an interesting theory on how he was possibly bitten by Fenrir Greyback. That would explain why his eyes were droopy so much. I like the idea and it gives JKR more room for mystery in book 7.

no he isnt evil, joining the death eaters was something that sounded like a quick route to power, also the threat of his family's death that made him carry out LV's tasks is in my view the big repenting factor, he obviously has some decncy for this reason, also when he lowered his wand before the other death eaters crashed onto the tower top shows that he was willing to give up his death eater role and accept help from those he would consider his enemies. Draco crying in the bathroom is the other synpathetic moment we have for this character.
He's not an evil character just a person with the quality of Slytherin house :ambition. The sorting hat barely touched his head before it belowed Slytherin.

Exactly. Couldn't have put it better myself. *Pets best deatheater*

He doesn't like Voldemort, but he is too much a coward to confront him.

No, Draco's not evil. He's not an angel, but he's no death eater. He couldn't kill Dumbledore, even though he didn't like him at all, so I doubt he could kill anyone directly. However, he did do some evil deeds, like putting poison in in the drinks and such. If Draco ever does become an actual death eater, he's not going to be a good one, because he won't kill anyone face-to-face. I really hope he does go to the good side; it would be so nice for him to become his own person instead of becoming his father.

You don't have to be a killer to become a death eater! If you have the dark mark you become a death eater.

I don't think Voldemort would give him such an important job, if he didn't make him a death eater. Besides, why would he miss the chance to add a new supporter?
