[Opinions] Re: Draco
in reply to a message by Katie
I really don't mind about Harry Potter associations... I've thought a lot about the name Draco and... well he didn't really turn out SO bad - he wasn't pure evil like a lot of them and he is (IMO) the second most fascinating character in the book.

Actually, the fact that he didn't turn out to be pure evil is one of the things that gets on my nerves the most about Draco. He wasn't good or evil; he was just a git. A snivelling, self-serving, cowardly git, which is disappointing, because as a character he could have been so much more complex than that. I really think J.K. could have done a lot more with his character.And although you may not be bothered by associations with Harry Potter, I can't help but feel that while the name remains so tied to the character, it isn't especially viable as a name for a real person. Perhaps with time that could change.
