Draco Malfoy
A first-year student in Slytherin House and Harry's particular enemy while at Hogwarts. Described as blonde with a pale, pointed face, Draco comes from an ancient, wealthy wizarding family and makes no pretense of his negative view toward Muggles, half-bloods, and "mudbloods." Harry first meets Draco in Madam Malkin's robe shop and is struck by his arrogant and prejudiced personality. During their ride on the Hogwarts Express, Draco attempts to become friends with Harry but, upon Harry's rebuff, the offended Draco becomes his firm enemy and wastes no opportunity to mock Harry or his friends. A favorite of Professor Snape, Draco spends most of his time with Crabbe and Goyle.
