From what I've read, draugr were mostly servants and members of the Dragon Cult's dotted across Skyrim. I think theres a book in Skyrim, Amongst The Draugr that says that someone investigated their purpose. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Amongst_the_Draugr

Er, that link right there. From that text, I assume that the lesser Draugr worship the Dragon Priests/Higher Ranked Draugr and provide a bit of whatever energy they still have to it. So, they're loyal only to Dragon Priests and cultists I'd assume. Which technically MEANT Miraak before, but I don't know if they'd follow him specifically since he went against the Dragons themselves.
