Why did Draco malfoy approach Harry Potter on the train?

Answer 1

Draco Malfoy is first met in Diagon Alley, waiting for his robes to be fitted. Malfoy says he knows that he will be in Slytherin but does not know that he is talking to Harry Potter. Harry then meets Malfoy on the Hogwarts Express, followed by his two loyal servant Crabbe and Goyle, and is given the choice of Malfoy or Ron (for friends). Harry chooses Ron, making Malfoy his enemy.

Malfoy is always trying to make Harry get in trouble, and sometimes try to scare Harry.

Answer 2

Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter were both given detention for being out of bed. Hagrid originally paired Neville and Draco, but changed the pairing when Draco snuck up behind Neville and scared him.

Answer 3

Malfoy is the surname of Draco Malfoy, a first year Slytherin student at Hogwarts.

The two first meet in Diagon Alley and Harry takes an instant dislike to him. Draco attempts to become Harry's friend after finding out who he is, but when Harry choose Ron Weasley over him, they become enemies. Draco then spends much of his time trying to get Harry expelled or into trouble.

Answer 4

Malfoy wanted to see if the kid on the train really was Harry Potter. Malfoy then tried to befriend Harry.
