Professor Snape
One of the antagonists in the novel, Draco Malfoy is classmate of Harry’s who quickly becomes his rival. Draco is in Slytherin House and can usually be seen flanked by his two friends Crabbe and Goyle. In many ways, Draco’s personality and beliefs are the antithesis of Harry’s; while Harry simply wants to belong, Draco seems intent on cruelly making other people feel like they don’t belong. Draco believes that people who were born into Muggle families (like Hermione) and raised by Muggles (like Harry) shouldn’t be allowed to attend Hogwarts, and makes fun of those whose families do not have the same wealth and status as his own family (like Ron). While Harry is humble, Draco is egotistical. While Harry only breaks the rules to do what is right and stand up for those who are unable to stand up for themselves (like Neville), Draco is a bully who breaks the rules simply to break them.

Quotes
“Not Slytherin, eh?” said the small voice. “Are you sure? You could be great, you know, it’s all here in your head, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that — no? Well, if you’re sure — better be GRYFFINDOR!”
Harry heard the hat shout the last word to the whole hall. He took off the hat and walked shakily toward the Gryffindor table. He was so relieved to have been chosen and not put in Slytherin, he hardly noticed that he was getting the loudest cheer yet.

Quotes
Harry ignored her. Blood was pounding in his ears. He mounted the broom and kicked hard against the ground and up, up he soared; air rushed through his hair, and his robes whipped out behind him — and in a rush of fierce joy he realized he’d found something he could do without being taught — this was easy, this was wonderful.
