* The Sorting Ceremony: Draco seems to be watching Hermione closely during the sorting ceremony. He might be intrigued by her intelligence and quick thinking, even if he is ultimately repelled by her "mudblood" status.
* The First Potions Lesson: During the first potions class, Draco makes a comment about how Snape's "favourite student" (referring to Hermione) will be "at the top of the class," suggesting he's paying attention to her academic prowess.
However, these are fleeting moments and don't definitively point to a crush. It's more likely that Draco was simply intrigued by Hermione's intelligence and maybe even intimidated by it, but ultimately his prejudice against her blood status overshadows any potential romantic interest.
It's important to remember that Draco's character arc is complex, and while his actions towards Hermione are often cruel, his feelings and motivations are multi-layered.
