I'm going to admit something here - I'm so terribly fussy about my Draco. Many a "fantastic" fic (ones that everyone loves) pall for me because Draco is just wrong for me. Mostly he's too confident and/or too snarky.
I don't mind those things hugely as long as he's actually not confident under it all, but I don't come across that very often. I know I'm hard to please when it comes to him, and this I think is the absolute MAXIMUM of snark and confidence that I'd ever want to read him. I tried to make him almost a non-entity in this as far as a back-story goes and just have him (and Harry, too) live in the moment.
I think I'm much better at writing characters of little substance and a lot of action :D Huge hugs to you!
