The Sergeant Majorette (delurking momentarily) says

While I agree that Good!Draco is a boring concept, OoP Evil!Draco was 
pretty shrill and tedious in his own right. (JKR has said that Harry 
and Draco will never side together.)

Draco and Hermione -- speaking as a former hermione, I'd say, Never! 
Draco and Ginny, maybe, but only if Ginny gets to keep her OoP 
personality.

Finally, well, I don't want to start a fistfight, but I just can't 
see Draco as straight. Some of the fanfiction that has Harry and 
Draco, as the two most damaged psyches, getting together, come across 
as the most natural.
