My short term answer to the memory: JKR had a GREAT editor and the editor cleaned up a lot before JKR's popularity and power meant the editor would get overruled or maybe even dumped off the project altogether.
As for Draco, he always struck me as smart and I can totally see your interpretation of this scene. I prefer it. It certainly puts the Slytherins in a fairer light.
