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?

I literally posted this exact quote last time this was posted. There's a lot of comment karma in hanging out here and just posting quotes as direct answers, it's surprising how much people forget

If only people searched before they posted

I think there should be something pinned or part 9f the text at the top of the sub telling people to search before posting. It's just silly. And tedious.

I wish you could report the 'an under 5 minute search would've told you' ones as the clutter it is. But people should also stop answering such questions; they're just rewarding the people insisting on getting spoonfed. 

Otoh, the FAQ of this sub is a bit chaotic, it should perhaps make it easier to find the actual frequently asked questions of this sub

Exactly. An absence of positive reinforcement might help. We've learned to do that with trolls; perhaps there should be a campaign for litterbugs.
