support for the idea that JKR could make him into someone who steps 
back from completely becoming a homicidal maniac, which would be what 
he more or less would have to turn into if he goes the Death Eater 
route. I'll flip through it later & try to find some examples to post 
here if anyone is interested...

---------------------------------------

*waves at Heidi* Color me interested as well. Like I said, I've read 
some of the 're-interpretations' of various Draco scenes from the 
text (the scene in the Forbidden Forest, the scene with the dementors 
on the train in PoA, the scene at the Quidditch world cup where he 
actually seems to be 'warning' the Invincible Trio) over on the 
hpslash and draconian egroups. They've put a lot of work into it and 
wow, darned if it isn't kind of convincing. So, yes post your 
arguments here I want to see how it all stacks up.
(And Kathleen made a good point. If they make Voldemort t-shirts and 
pens, maybe it wouldn't be so weird to make Malfoy t-shirts and pens. 
I know people who express fondness for his character who have never 
read a stitch of fanfiction in their lives.)
