While what they'd experienced was vastly different, Draco did recognise the boy's tactics and understood exactly what he was doing. He was lashing out, trying to get any sort of attention he could. Though because Draco had somehow managed to make friends that helped keep him somewhat in line while in school, keeping him safe from being caught in all his wrong doings. Remus didn't have that. Instead, the boy was much like Theo had been as a child in that aspect, being a bit of a loner and rejecting any attention from his peers.
