So, let's start with our dear Draco. How was he influenced by the people around him, how many choices did he have? In general, most people have no choice. But looking into Malfoy's case, he really had no choice. Try it yourself; when did he manage to define HIS future? You may think, "but he might not even believe that Muggle-born sucks." So, imagine it for a moment. You have parents who despise Muggle born and Muggle in general. They teach you, from childhood, to hate them. You never had proof that Muggles were good. You never really saw them when you were a child, right? So it seems logical to me that you believe the words of your parents, and after receiving such a message I don't think it can be erased very easily. So, first argument, I would say clarified.

Now, Slytherin in general. Let's take a simple, simple example, that is when Pansy Parkinson tells the audience to give Harry Potter to Lord Voldemort. Then ALL the Slytherins are sent to dungeons, although no one else shows hostile signs towards Harry. Now, seriously, do you find it right? Because it seems a bit similar to racism to me, sorry. And ignoring the point that leaving a little good heart and using a little brain is not necessarily a crime, maybe it would be better to listen to these guys psychologically, understand the reasons for this hostility. "Slytherins are always bad with Harry." No. First of all, you will admit that Harry is also not a little angel. And then Malfoy had made a friend request that Harry did NOT accept.

And then, continuing to focus for a moment on The-boy-who-had-no-choice, think for a moment also about this: He was taught that he deserved confidential treatment. He did not receive it, because an even more famous boy takes over from him. He tries to make friends, but is sidetracked for his opinion, which then could also have changed. Harry has his group of friends, a lot of admirers, who then, at the fourth year, finally start to fade away. In addition, the boy who survived is accused of cheating, and his popularity drops. But it is not he who takes the place; is another boy, more handsome, more intelligent, Champion of the Triwizard. Continue to the fifth year, where the situation changes, but the result remains the same. Except that this time Malfoy binds to Umbridge, and now he is to rise in popularity, at least from the new principal. Now he enjoys 'fame'. But then, everything turns upside down. Harry's popularity skyrockets, and his father ends up in Azkaban. It has a task, and it finally has an iota of importance. He loses a part of humanity, joining Voldemort, but now he feels special. By now it was all lost, because the father was in prison, and in a moment all the prestige accumulated by the father in the ministry vanishes. But after a short time he realizes that his task is impossible for him, and he becomes increasingly agitated. Harry hits him with a Sectumsempra, and his secret, now, was no longer safe. Snape continued to meddle. And finally, he succeeds in his task. But now another problem arises. As Dumbledore says, he is not an assassin, and therefore, the moment he had waited so long, was impossible to achieve, because he had left only a piece of his humanity. Draco could never have been bad. Seventh year. He finds himself trapped among the Death Eaters, and regrets what he did, now he would have preferred to die punished by Voldemort. He wants Hogwarts to return to normal, but he can't do anything. He doesn't want to stay with the Death Eaters, but he doesn't want to disappoint his parents either.

I hope this too was a step in understanding that the Slytherins are not as bad as they seem.
