Nice to see Tom really understands his character. That's very important.

He's right about Harry and Draco practically being opposites of the same coin. The only difference is Harry has great inspirations to do what's right (his friends, no parents to disapprove should he make incorrect choices) whereas Draco has that honor bestowed on him from his loyalty to Voldemort and his parents's approval and letting them be proud of him, where it could vanish any second. He can't do what he wants, because it could ruin everything he has. So Draco, as Tom said, is kinda stuck there, afraid to move forward, but afraid to go backwards too.
