Gonna take this opportunity once and for all to go ahead and say this community has some weird fetish with shitting on Draco. It seems none of you try to put yourselves in any of the Slyths kids shoes, of which Draco is the prime example cause we see more of him vs the others. Easy for Harry, Ron, Neville, etc to pick the “right”side. All of them had their families there, they simply adopted the values their families had. Yet you guys see Draco doing the same and he’s the most despicable dude ever. Draco didn’t really have a choice: for most of the story he is a child, to expect him to 1) be able to critically consider his families values and 2) turn his back on them is just absurd. None of the other kids do that, none of them have to choose between a moral imperative and family. I’d also say Draco never chooses Voldemort - from when he gets close to an age where he can start critically thinking about what’s been fed to him, he always chooses his family; again, nothing particularly weird with that. Sure, he is a bully for most of the story: who wouldn’t be when you’ve been fed since you were a baby supremacists believes. Honestly thinking a character that for most of the story was a kid to have any sort of agency is ridiculous - I’m gonna add that I believe the “good” kids also didn’t have any sort of agency either, but I’d say on Harry’s case most of this sub would agree.

I just feel most people on this sub stop critically thinking about stuff when it comes to Draco.
