J.K. Rowling tweets "How would HP books look from Draco's perspective

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.

I like your version for book 7.

In the first 2 books I have a hard time deciding how much of his attention was on Harry vs the Voldemort incarnation of the year.

Or how much he knows about what's going on. Dumbledore tells him to keep an eye on Quirrell--how much does Snape know or guess about what's wrong with the man? (Does his Dark Mark react around him?) Dumbledore knows exactly who opened the Chamber of Secrets last time, and that there really is a Chamber of Secrets, and based his knowledge of Tom's secret Parselmouth ability he probably has a good idea of what the monster is. How much does Snape know, and when does he know it?

If we could nail that down, that might at least help us guess about his focus for the year. (Though it would neat if it were Option C: Something Else Related to the Voldemort Plot.)
