During the YPL group thing we had, he was really good at that. And he also was a good leader during the Tasks. I mean, during the Second Task, he pretty much decided how things were going to go. And everybody else was more experienced and older, but they still did what he told them to, and it wasn't just because of who his father was either. Even though it didn't work out quite the way he had in mind.
And the thing is, Draco, you're such a good leader, because you have that confidence and everything, that maybe it's easier for him to just sit back and let you do things sometimes.
I think if he ever were to decide to step up more at school, there'd be people there who would listen to what he had to say. But maybe he hasn't had anything he's wanted to step up for yet?
I'm not sure how that's something that can be fixed, but having him take responsibilities of little things where the stakes aren't quite so high is a good start, I think. So maybe he'll get a bit more confident.
