If you think Draco is the same, you need to reread canon.

Are you referring to the sexual stuff? I don't think that shows a difference in his personality so much as a lack of censorship. I could easily conceive of canon Draco making such comments, but them never being in the books due to censorship.

I'm referring to the competence. Canon Draco was a small-minded bully. Remember the Most Dangerous Student in the Classroom bit? Canon Draco made enemies every time he opened his mouth.

MOR Draco had a course of education from his father that there was no evidence for in canon.

Yes, there is a causal explanation for why Draco is entirely different and much more powerful than in canon.
