Probably not, although he's certainly not a very nice kid, is he?

I didn't.

Don't you mean one dimensional...? Anyway, I don't see why he would 
have to be. Voldemort, I must admit, doesn't seem to have a whole lot 
of depth, although it's early days yet, and we did find out some 
things about him (as Riddle) in the memory sequence in CoS. We 
haven't seen a whole lot of him, though, whereas we've seen a lot 
more of Draco and will continue to do so, I'm sure. JKR can build him 
into a thoroughly satisfying multi dimensional evil character if she 
so chooses. 

Personally, I don't really care one way or another whether Draco ends 
up being good, evil or dead when it's all said and done, and JKR is 
certainly welcome to do with him whatever she wants, but I'd actually 
be more annoyed (not to mention disappointed) if all the characters 
ended up reformed and 'good' in the end.
