| Aug 6, 2016 at 17:30 | comment | added | Jason Baker | @Slytherincess I mean that I'd expect Draco to have built up an image in his head of Durmstrang as the place that would have rewarded him for his merits (like his talents, his pedigree, his wealth, his blood-status); it would have satisfied his self-image, instead of challenging it the way Hogwarts did. I'd expect him to have imagined himself basically being the prince of the school, the way he imagined himself to be prince of Hogwarts before he actually went there. Since he didn't have any direct experience with the school, he never would have had to challenge that delusion | |

| Aug 6, 2016 at 0:20 | comment | added | Jason Baker | @Slytherincess Seems probable; I'd expect him to have kind of a "grass is always greener" feeling about Durmstrang. It's the Dark School, run by a former Death Eater. I think that, initially, he thought he'd be happier at Hogwarts (lots of muggleborns and half-bloods form him to lord over), but over time he probably wondered enviously about what things would have been like if he'd gone somewhere that really understood him | |
| Aug 5, 2016 at 23:49 | comment | added | Slytherincess | In her answer, Priyanka Patil talks about how Lucius had wanted to send Draco to Durmstrang, but Narcissa wouldn't allow it. What are your thoughts on whether or not Draco not attending Durmstrang would have affected his feelings toward Hogwarts? Do you think Durmstrang figured into Draco's dislike of Hogwarts? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. :) | |
| Aug 4, 2016 at 17:31 | comment | added | LeHill | I agree. Draco would have had nothing but bad memories of his time at Hogwarts. Also, it would seem that any kind of success or happy memory that Draco would have had was overshadowed or outshined by his rivals in Gryffindor. Seeker in Quidditch in his 2nd year? Harry was seeker in his first year PLUS Ron accused Draco of buying his position on the team. Prefect? Ron and Hermione were too. But not Harry, he was too important for that duty. I could go on and on. | |
| Aug 4, 2016 at 16:20 | comment | added | Thunderforge | In the final act of the play, Draco says that he wished he could have played Quidditch as a career, but didn't have the talent. This adds credence to the fact that he resented Harry and Ron being better than him, and so he didn't achieve one of his dreams of being a great player while at Hogwarts. | |
