I still wouldn't call him an antagonist/bad giy though.
He refused to tell Bellatrix who Harry was when they were
captured and in Malfoy Manor, despite knowng full well who he
was. He never properly physically attacked Harry throughout the
series despite his inclination towards disliking him. He may
have worked briefly foe the Dark Lord, however he did so very
unwillingly. Does all this really add up to him being under the
"bad" category?

Yeah it does, he was indirectly responsible for many deaths when
he let the death eaters into hogwarts. Remember Draco chose to
become a death eater, he is arrogant and extremely supportive of
the dark arts. Like I said before, he CHOSE to fight for
Voldermort, one little action in support of Harry as a
consequence of his conscience isn't going to change that he is a
bad guy.

Well this is all objective. It's certainly undeniable that he
cannot be called a good guy. But I still don't believe he was a
bad guy as you suggest. He did work for Voldemort, that's
unquestionable, however my interpretation of this was that he
didn't do so willingly. He was urged to because of the mistakes
his father made in the Department f Mysteries, not, I believe,
because he genuinely believed in the cause. I don't think he set
out to hurt anyone (besides Dumbledore) but even then he really
couldn't bring himself to it in the end.
I take this sign of a guilty conscience to suggest that he isn't
a bad guy, or a major antagonist, more of a weak one. I don't
believe he falls under either category, to me he was more of a
bystander caught in the middle of his parents' wishes and his
own internal thoughts.
However, I understand the point you make. Draco did bad things,
and I get that you see this as making him undoubtedly a bad guy.
Personally, I think otherwise, but that is just my opinion on
the matter.
Interesting debate nonetheless?

I see were you are coming from, however, is it not true that
from the very beginning Draco did everything he could to hurt
Harry, Ron, and Hermione and all their enterprises. I would say
that even though he was not completely evil, he still deserves
the title of antagonist.

Oh yeah, I won't deny he's an antagonist. That is undeniable
as far as I'm concerned.
New question: would you rather be pureblood or muggleborn?

A pure-blood preferrably,but I seriously don't mind being
muggle-born.for one,I think that aren't as snotty or aren't
piled up with ego and pride.They,are also smarter than most
wizards,and have a different perspective of the world.They are
nicer,and they probably are more useful.But the reason I choose
being pure-blood is because of the goals and determination of
Draco and Severus :-* ;) :D
And they have a easier life anyways :-\

Actually thinking about it more, I'd choose to be Muggle born,
because you'd have one whole life in the Muggle world, and then
a separate life in the wizarding world.
But I still don't think being half blood would be too bad
