*falls down with laugher* Well, I'll speak up and say that I think I'm part 
of this camp. In fact, I remember encountering people who sympathized with 
Draco on this list and thinking "What are they going on about?" Draco has 
always been an nuisance in my mind and hardly attractive...

However, I do concede the possibility that Draco can "redeem" himself. 
However, JKR had better go about it carefully or I won't believe it and will 
simply roll my eyes. I personally don't think that he would ever "turn" 
unless there is a huge trauma in his life. I'm talking big, like the death 
of someone he loves. And, I'm sorry to say, I don't see much evidence for 
Draco loving anybody. However, since we haven't seen a lot of how Draco 
feels, it's very possible that JKR will change this in the future...

Draco has grown up all his life in a certain atmosphere, with particular 
messages. While it *is* possible for the child to reject their upbringing, 
I'm under the impression its rare. However, feel free to enlighten me if I'm 
wrong.
