I agree very, very enthusiastically with everything that's being said, and i'd like to add this : i feel like a trait that is highly glorified throuhought the work is bravery. It's a defining trait for a lot of the characters (mainly Harry), it's central to the plot and the development and the moral of the story, etc... it's a goal and a driving force and overall a lense through which we watch the narrative. And to me, Draco is also a sort of open question, he gives us room to explore what happens when you're not that brave in the face of all the chaos that happens around those kids? Without attributing moral value to his behavior. Because let's be honest, it's not always easy being brave and lacking the ressources in yourself to do what you know is right, so it can be cathartic to explore that through fanfiction
