I agree that people favor the crazies. *cough*Sephiroth*cough* But really, it's realistic to have the chickenwusses - I mean, not everyone can be swaggering, plucky young adventurers who would rather die than desert a friend! Life isn't complete without the people who value their own skin more highly than others'!
And they like Draco because he's blond and rich. And also because people seem to have an obsession with rivalslash that is completely beyond me (personally, I've never gotten the whole "he acts like he hates me, that means he actually wants to *unf* me he's actually in love with me" thing either)*, and so they need to noblify up Draco so that Harry doesn't come off completely pathetic.
* Except in a case like GetBackers' Ban and Fudou, where there's all kinds of talk about throbbing and desire mixed in with all the talk about killing. XD
I've actually managed to not let the fandom turn me off Haripo - I'm still holding on and enjoying the books, even if it is kind of ridiculous that I feel the need whenever a new one comes out to read it in one night. x_x
