I hadn't even thought of that-- but you're right! Both Draco _and_ Harry hero-worshiped their fathers, and this illusion has been shattered for both
I really want to try to tie in Percy and his fixations on Arthur and especially Barty Crouch Sr., but that's meandering away from OOTP. Of course, there's also "Expecto patronum", Riddle Jr. vs. Riddle Sr. and Riddle Jr's idolization of Salazar Slytherin. Riddle's situation mirrored in Barty Crouch Jr. Harry being the mirror image of his father. Draco's "father said *this*", "wait until I tell my father", (similar behavior displayed amongst some of the Weasley kids, "I'll ask dad", blah blah). If I keep going, I'll probably be babbling on forever. Really thinking about it, the rampantness of daddy issues in HP is kind of crazy.
