I didn't catch the analogy between Grindlewald's symbol and the svastika *head desk* I did roll my eyes in a "Ah, and so it's probably a coincidence that the power-hungry dictator comes from a country rather on the East of Europe and has a German-sounding name, right?" way at his story, though.
But the novels are so built on archetypes anyway (the boy unloved by his family who finds escape in another world where he is someone important, the spiritual master, the "evil" house having a snake for emblem, etc...), I figured it was fair game to use another one.
I was hoping that Draco would have more of a change of heart than simply running away...
