Draco Malfoy: a Slytherin or a Gryffindor?
I always thought that Draco Malfoy showed qualities that belong both to Slytherin and Gryffindor Houses.
On one hand, Draco is ambitious and cunning -- he devised some good plans to get Harry in trouble; he thought he was ready to kill Dumbledore in HBP to save his parents and himself (Slytherins use ‘any means to achieve their ends’); he managed to get Death Eaters into highly guarded castle (though, I wonder what would have happened, if Dumbledore hadn’t been poisoned, because, I believe, even in bad shape he could have taken down four Death Eaters).
On the other hand, Draco is brave and passionate -- he stalked Harry throughout their first five years trying to get Harry’s attention (or get into his pants :D), which was childish and counterproductive, because Harry Potter was Dumbledore’s golden boy and Dumbledore was in a position of power; Draco always had bad reputation outside Slytherin House, which was again not too beneficial; also he wasn’t cold enough to kill Dumbledore in the end (he didn’t use ‘any means’).
I would describe Draco as a Slytherin with Gryffindor heart -- he uses Slytherin methods to achieve Griffindor goals.
What do you think??? How does it affect Harry/Draco?
