Well, I think JKR has really painted Draco solidly into the "evil" 
box.  Consider his last few scenes in GoF.  Cedric is dead, and Draco 
leads the Slytherins in refusing to acknowledge Harry's heroism.  
Then, he behaves badly again on the train home.  No, I think Draco is 
just getting ready to start being overtly evil in the next books.  I 
won't even entertain a death-bed conversion or some such.  He's evil, 
all the way.  

Just one opinion.
