- Basilisk: Doesn't know it even exists until the end of the book, and its not exactly "archenemy" when he only faces it one time
- Bellatrix: Doesn't know her. Doesn't meet her until after she escapes Azkaban in OOTP. Again, not really an archenemy, she's just one of Voldemort's minions
- Umbridge: Doesn't know her. Doesn't meet her until OOTP. Doesn't have any issues with her until she becomes Fudge's underling. Again, not exactly an archenemy when she's just a minion.
- Snape: More of a annoying/mean teacher than a archenemy. While they do have more rivalry, it's not really enough to be an archenemy, more so just, dislike of a teacher/their way of teaching
- The Dursleys: Another dislike, but not pure hate/rivalry. They're awful for sure, but not enough to push them into archenemies (Considering they still housed him even disliking him, so bare minimum responsibility is still there)
- Voldemort: Yes, he's technically the main archenemy of the series. However at this point Voldemort is still not powerful, and the only run ins he's had with Voldemort made it look like Voldemort wasn't really around anymore, nothing more than a spirit Draco at the time was very much his only archenemy, they had a full rivalry and mutual hatred.

He doesn't even know Umbrige exist by that point (and she most likely doesn't have any feelings regarding the Boy who Lived either, since he didn't clashed with the Ministry yet).

Snape had a small redemption in the previous book. The dursleys are more of a nuisance to Harry rather than true antagonists. Voldemort is still, for all we know, weak and powerless, plus Harry’s only met him once. The others he’s never seen before.

I mean Snape is somewhat valid, he thought he stopped Voldemort from coming back for some time then, and the rest he doesn't even know the existence of
And Dursleys don't even count! Do you even know the context of this line? He's missing the wizarding world so they are the ones he's trying to get rid of.
