How does this distinguish it from Hogwarts, again?
It seems to me that the best explanation is pretty simple—Hogwarts is just the best, by a large margin, with the possible exception of Defense against (using) the Dark Arts, where Hogwarts is usually handicapped by its horrible professors. Since Draco already learns combat spells from tutors, this seems like a pretty small price to pay. Also, given that the Malfoys are playing for power in Magical Britain it makes sense to have been educated there, both not to seem an elitist foreigner-lover and to better understand how British wizards think. Not to mention the fact that Slytherin is at Hogwarts.

How much respect does Lucious have for the Slytherin house? It is, as Harry points out, rather lame currently. Has Malfoy Snr. notice this?
Draco seems to spend a lot of time complimenting Slytherin in his thoughts. Also, there’s something of a family tradition.
Just a matter of degree. Hogwarts never produced an 18-year-old Seeker for a national team.
