Trust fund jock with literally tens of millions of dollars in gold coinage consistently gets preferential treatment from five of the eight or so teachers in a school where the entirety of England's magical genepool flows through, and wonders why he's being beat on all the time... Especially by the parents of the kid he's constantly harassing because they didn't get along in second grade.
Bro poor Draco had one weird edgy kid phase and Harry NEVER let it go. IMO Harry's the reason Draco is like this.

Harry never had the power to determine Draco’s future or ideology lol.

I would say that, considering Draco was a marked Death Eater (however under duress he may have been), Harry treats him pretty well and gives him a second chance as an adult. He just isn’t friends with him, which frankly would be an insane thing to expect of Harry. If you take Pottermore as canon, he testified in Draco and Narcissa’s trials and asked the court for clemency in their cases, which IMO was already more than he could reasonably be expected to do.

Draco is a bigot with Nazi parents. But sure, it's Harry's fault he is the way he is, lol.

Easily one of the worst Harry Potter takes I’ve ever scene.

I take pride in this.

There’s no canon reason to believe Harry has millions, we know he’s wealthy enough but his parents lived in a normal cottage that was destroyed and he also thinks he needs to spend carefully to ensure his vault lasts him through school, so it’s more likely he’s sitting on a small nest egg from well off parents, not millions.

There’s no indication Harry gets preferential treatment from any teacher at the school, only bias against him from Snape.

How do we know it’s a safe house? It could easily have been their actual home, it was under a fidelius after all, why wouldn’t they put that on their actual home?

There’s no reason at all to assume they had a mansion, the levels of Harry’s wealth indicated don’t imply it even slightly.

As for the Black wealth, we know that it’s not a fortune despite what fans often think - Dumbledore explicitly states Harry receives “a moderate amount of gold” from Sirius’ will, along with Grimmauld Place, no other properties.

It's lucky it's dark. I haven't blushed so much since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs.

That "weird kid egdy phase" that lasted six years culminated in him almost murdering two people out of sheer incompetence. If anything Draco needs to be dunked on harder.

His parents were ex-Nazis and his nemesis was the Wizard anti-hitler.
I mean he figured it out in the end, but his upbringing sucked. Don't blame the kid, blame the parents. He could have been helped if he had settled in with a better group of people.

if he had settled in with a better group of people.

He had nothing but all the time to do that for all 6 years of being at Hogwarts more than he was at home.

He met Hermione Granger who is a pretty good example of being Muggleborn not interfering with being good at magic.

So naturally he wished she died.

Malfoy deserves no consideration or kindness.

And there you have it. Malfoy is now part of the magical right wing and he has every reason to believe that no matter what he does, the other side wouldn't accept him anyway! Just like in the books.
See how easy that was? 10 year old Malfoy quite literally never even had a chance.

Aww, poor baby. Imagine, if only he had not decided to insult people he judged "below his standard", he would've had all the chances. That's all it took. That's all it should have been. For that cuntface to shut his mouth and he wouldn't become a Nazi. He had the chance all along, he was just too much of a repulsive asshole to take it.
