You and regan_v; the readers who hate Draco. He is also a fun character to write. Not as much fun as Snape, who is, really, just like a total GIFT, but still fun. And he is young. You have the luxury of projecting his possible fate. With Snape, it is more of a backward study. As a writer, I struggle to develop a backstory that has made him who he is. Which is no less fascinating! Thanks!
