I'm mostly numb to JKR more questionable interview / pottermore / whatever HP cannon "explanations".
And I understand that she might have done this one just to show how much attention she pays to fandom. What with tweeting answers to fans and following HP tag on Thumblr.
But this still annoyed me.
Even if you are tying to be funny and don't really like the character you've written: this still shows a incredible disdain and lack of understanding of Draco and people who like him or find him sympathetic.

Unless JKR is alluding to Mad-Eye Moody?

Someone must have written something where Draco joins the IS in the first place because after the ferret incident, he was convinced his enemies really were out to destroy him utterly in as painful a matter as possible ("I had no idea just how right Father was until I saw how the Mudblood and her Muggle-loving friends laughed at my torture and near-death!") and he wanted to get them before they got him.

The first title is one where JKR actually named a driving plot element, so it could probably equally well be Severus Snape and the Philosopher's Stone or Voldemort and the Philosopher's Stone. Though Severus Snape: Back in the Game and Voldemort and the Year of the Deathly Boring View of Quirrell's Turban could work too...
