Draco Malfoy's father. Mr. Malfoy is extremely powerful and well-respected in the Wizarding community and at the Ministry, though this is mostly because he donates money to a number of causes. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the Weasleys know that Mr. Malfoy is untrustworthy, corrupt, and obsessed with status: he sneers at Hermione, who is Muggle-born, and insults the Weasleys about their economic status. Harry discovers upon Voldemort's return that his suspicions that Mr. Malfoy is a Death Eater were correct; Voldemort confirms that Mr. Malfoy led the group that tormented the Roberts family at the Quidditch World Cup, while Mr. Malfoy's presence in the graveyard indicates that he's still committed to Voldemort's cause.
