I'm sure it's a big part of it--In my mind it's a combination of Snape's ability to assert real authority AND like Draco to boot is an irresistable combination. If Draco didn't respect him and Snape liked him I suspect Draco would be more contemptuous of him even while he enjoyed the advantages. With Snape he seems to like him but he also obeys him, it seems to me.
