Specifically, Draco was jealous of Harry. It was easy to miss because Draco didn't often show his emotions, modelling himself on his cold, confident, calculating father, but J.K. Rowling has confirmed that a lot of his enmity towards Harry stemmed from envy.
Did you know that the Hogwarts' motto is "Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus" which means "never tickle a sleeping dragon"? Today, we're challenging you with a little word game all about it.
“It is impossible to manufacture or imitate love.” “If you loved Lily Evans, if you truly loved her, then your way forward is clear.” “I was afraid that your hot head might dominate your good heart.” “The ones that love us never really leave us.
“Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.” “I'm hoping to do some good in the world!” “I mean, you could claim that anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist!” “Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have!”

"You'd think we'd have invented a magical sport better than that," I observe. "Just because you want to play Quidditch."

"The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see." "If you're going through hell, keep going." "There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true." "The price of greatness is responsibility."
