Times Draco Malfoy Was The Worst (And Times He Wasn't That Bad)

By the time of the "Battle of Hogwarts," Malfoy had grown thoroughly disillusioned with the Death Eaters, seen his childhood friend Crabbe die in front of him, and had his life saved by Harry and his friends. And yet, unfortunately, the combination of all those events still could not convince Draco to do the heroic, noble thing for once. 

During the battle, Voldemort's army was being fought tooth-and-nail by Hogwarts faculty, members of the Order of the Phoenix, centaurs from the Forbidden Forest, and as many students as could find the courage to take up arms against the invading army. And Draco... was not among those students.

While moving around the castle under the invisibility cloak, Harry and his friends came upon Draco talking earnestly to one of Voldemort's minions. The young man was trying to convince the minion to spare his life by exclaiming, "I'm Draco Malfoy, I'm Draco, I'm on your side!" Ron reflected what the readers were feeling at that moment by punching Draco in his face after saving him from the minion.
