I think it would be good if Draco did die, but i don't believe it 
will happen... :(


Why at the start of GoF didn't Harry write to double d when his scar 
first hurt? He wrote to Sirius instead, seeing him as a father 
figure. I think its highly unlikely, but im not going to rule out the 
possibility that Sirius or Lupin could die. I dont see this happening 
mainly because Harry has allready lost one father. If double d was to 
die, i think it would be more to show that Mr V is stronger than he 
was at the height of his powers before lil harry got in his way.
