I'll admit that sometimes people tend to go a little
over the top with wanting Draco to change, and I would
normally be inclined to agree with you but...As I
recall, Dudley also serves the purpose of being a
nasty little wretch also. Maybe Draco WILL change,
Maybe NOT, but as we've learned in the past;Nothing is
impossible. So, I woldn't dismiss Draco's redemption
just yet,Only Jo Knows the real truth.
