does anyone here actaully think he is evil ?

I don't think he's evil, but he's a total coward who doesn't live up to what he says. His actions are more about trying to prove something, but it doesnt really represent his real convictions or beliefs.

I told already he is just a fool child and will discover the true but to late.

draco has just always been draco...that doesn't necessarily mean he is evil. The fact that he didn't kill Dumbledore was to show how much of a coward he really is!! I expected Snape to come in in the end anyways because of what happened with him and Karkaroff in GoF...

malfoy can't be truly evil, he's nasty, yes, but not evil, evil people don't cry with moaning myrtle, he's just a boy whose been brought up with death eaters, hasn't known real love n is a little confused on who he is. i think he'll realise a little too late that he's not death eater material, he'll try to redeem himself by helping harry but he'll get killed, maybe by voldy or maybe even by his father, u never know, thats wot i think anyway lol

kkk...call me stupid or whatver..but i will never think draco evil!never!!!though his father is..u knwo i'm confused a lil actually..well lil did i say..well hell of a lot confused yeah!!!!!!!!!

he is evil..Draco

His parents made him the way he is. He brought up by parents that served that the Dark Lord Voldermort and now he has to serve him suffer the consquences of his actions. He is coward and he isn't really evil. He really is scared boy that needs attention and doesn't get any at home. His pure-blood parents tell him that muggles and muggle-born that are scum and they don't deserve to live.

He didn't want to kill Dumbledore when Dumbledore told him that he be hidden along with his mother from the Voldermort so Voldermort couldn't find him. He was forced into being a Death Eater to take the place of his father position, which he didn't want to take. He afraid of what will happen to him, his mother, and his father when Voldermort finds out that didn't kill Dumbledore.

Draco isn't evil, but he was raised evil.

of course malfoy's EVIL! his name means "LIKE A SNAKE!".

Well actually that's his last name so that could also be talking about his father. But I don't think Malfoy is evil. Come on he Didn't even want to kill Dumbledore. He just isn't the nicest person to be around. I still don't think that him an Harry will team up though.

I dont believe he is inherently evil, but evil in nature.

I don't think he's evil. Just bad company. Like everyone else is saying, yeah, he's just a bully. He probably has some insecurities. I think he's just expected to follow in his dad's footsteps, but doesn't really want to. It's just a whole "honouring the family" thing.

As for teaming up with Harry, I don't know, maybe. It's possible. Maybe he'd rather FIGHT Voldemort instead of join him? *shrug*

I dont think he's evil, he's just all mouth and trying to live up 2 what his dad wants him to be!!!

If he was evil he would of killd DD!!
But then agen look what he did to harry on the train that wasnt very nice at all!!!

malfoy is definitly not evil. hes just a coward. He couldnt kill dumbledore because he finally discovers his conscience. Before that he was guilty, mean and rude but now malfoy and snape are both cowards. Even though he has a dark mark it doesnt mean hes evil. He discovered his soul when he was talking to dumbledore and realised the only reason y he was doing that was to stay alive and prove himself but it obviously didnt work. So no he is not evil.

No Draco is not evil. He is just a scared teenage boy. I think is such a bully because he is insercure about himself. And because his dad bullies him. It is all Draco knows. He doesn't have real friends. People are only nice to him because they are scared, think he is important because who is dad is or because they are using hm.

I don't think he knows what love is of how it feels to be loved. I think this is why Snape favors him. I'm not sure if Snape actually likes Draco (I don't think he actually like many people). I do think Snape favors Draco because the whoe Draco/Harry thing reminds Snape of himself & James. DD said some wounds can not be healed with time at the end OoTP. I think just as Sirus lives through Harry & his friends Snape lives through Draco. He helps Darco get over and taunt Harry as payback for the pain he indured by James and his buddies.

I don't think Draco realized what he was getting into when he agreed to help the Dark Lord. He did it more to impress his dad then anything. But you can't say no to the Dark Lord either now can you? I do think the Dark Lord was using Draco. I think the Dark Lord will want to punsh the Malfoy family for all of their screw ups. This is why Malfoy was meant to fail so the Dark Lord could punish Lucius & Narcissa.

I don't think Harry & Draco will team up in the final book. I know that the sorting hat said that the houses would need to unite in order to defeat the Dark Lord but I think there is too much blood between Harry & Draco. I know Harry felt sorry for him but I don't think he will ever trust Draco enough to accept his help.

It will be interesting to see what happens with in book 7.

I don't think hes evil. I think that he thinks he loves to brag and make himself seem better than everyone else and likes to stick to his dad's beliefs. He does seem to be a little down to earth and he is definetly not evil.

I really think that Malfoy is not evil, I mean he is only mean to harry because of his father I don't know if I'm explaining myself correct. If we take a look to the second movie when there are in that shop in Knocteralley when malfoy tried to touch something his father will hit him or speak with fear in his voice, I mean I'll be afraid too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Draco was really just getting a reality check in this book. Throughout the earlier books, he bragged, and I'm sure his father being part of the Death Eaters seemed dangerous, glamourous and exciting for him-he was in contact with Lord Voldemort, who I assume was glorified in the Malfoy home. So seeing what kinds of things he'd have to do firsthand, killing the headmaster of his school (even if he didn't particularly like him, it was still a huge task, as this is Dumbledore) I think opened his eyes, and we see what Draco is (or in this case, isn't) capable of.
However, this is no sign he's good. Although he was carrying out the task for his family, there is no way he could ever work with the Order for the simple fact that he still holds that prejudice against "Mudbloods" and sympathises with Voldie's cause. He supports it, he wishes Hermione dead at one point, so I can't see him working with the Order in any way. However, I do see him in exile, for he let Voldemort down, and thta would be something to fear.

I don't think Draco's evil, I just think that he was conditioned to believe in Voldemorts cause by his parents-especially Lucius; hatred is taught after all. I think that Draco just liked the idea of following in his fathers footsteps, and learned in his sixth year just what it is like to really be a DE. Voldemort gave him the almost impossible task of killing Dumbledore, the most powerful Wizard, lest he and his parents would be murdered; that was too much for him. There was also the fact that he was unable to kill Dumbledore when he had the opportunity-Snape had to do it for him. I think that the whole experience was a wake up call that Draco really needed, and hopefully he will re-think his veiws. While I don't think that he will ever become friends with the Trio, I think that he is atleast redeemable.

he's not evil..he's got a lot of bravado though. Then he's prolly grown up in an environment like that where evil rules. But when u get down to it..he's a coward. I mean look at the last book...he was crying and all that cuz he was afraid, and then becuz he didn't want help shows he has a lot of pride...not too mention he did some really stupid things, like passing poisoned mead and a necklace off...totally careless and reckless. I don't think he's realized what he's got himself into.
