If you ever go back to the HP books, skip over book 5 and go straight for book 6. You still won't relate to Harry, because you'll spend the whole book thinking "if Harry could just get over this stupid paranoid grudge, he'd see that Draco NEEDS HELP" - it's in book 6 that we really start to see who Draco is, and the brief places he's in book 7 only add to the new dimensions rather than flattening him again.
But yeah, I've always been fascinated by the "evil" characters in books...what made them that way, what their logical process is... In a good book, everyone should be sympathetic to some degree, or at least have understandable logic (even if it's based on a false premise).
Turn in next week, for The Mystery in the Basement! Sadly, I doubt it will live up to expectation... but I like what I've done there... :P
Thanks for reading (even though you weren't supposed to be! Haha)!
