"I am not sure what Angel (aka Angelus) saw in Drusilla. Perhaps he viewed her as something or someone to completely control, perhaps?"
Yes, and I also think Angelus saw Drusilla as his masterpiece of utter destruction of a human being, prior to turning her. She's a walking, talking trophy of his evil exploits: her madness was his doing, her eternal suffering is an undying source of immense pleasure to him.
