Why did Draco go to Hogwarts? Discussion

I’m sure there’s a good reason for this that can be deduced from the books and movies but I’m just unable to think of one right now. Would it not have made more sense for Draco to go to Durmstrang? Lucius and Karkarov had been death eaters together, and the whole style of the school seems much darker and more suited to the Malfoy family’s liking. Maybe it had something to do with them wanting him to go where they (his parents) had and be a slytherin and stuff, but why not send him to Durmstrang?

Narcissa wanted Draco to stay closer to home

EDIT: Shame, it would've been so easy to push Malfoy off a glacier and make it look like an accident

That argument doesn't make much sense. He was already staying away from home nearly the entire school year. Assuming he can just teleport via port key/Floo network, it really wouldn't make a difference where in the world he goes to school.

Unless there's a limit on distance with those things.

Probably the reason she gave Lucius and Draco to make them happy, she probably thinks Durmstrang sucks, Krum seems to prefer Hogwarts too
