And James wasn't just a bully, he was also the brave man who died trying to protect his family.
Yes. We haven't seen Draco do anything even vaguely selfless. I'm not saying he's not capable of it, though I think there's a large amount of Slytherin self-preservation instinct to be overcome first, but currently there's no evidence that he is.
I was just concentrating on their bad side in my post, not saying that this bad side was all that was to them. And I don't hate Sirius and James for things I'd excuse in Draco, for that matter.
My point exactly. Why hate James and Sirius for behaviour you condone or excuse in Draco? Personally I don't hate any of them. I love snotty bigoted Death-Eater-in-training canon Draco, and I do think he had a rotten start.
