My concern here is that redeeming Draco of his racism (just that, 
forget all the other nastiness) is a book, possibly more than one, in 
itself. Racism is a huge thing to undo, and JKR knows it, I'm sure. 
You can't treat it lightly, and to treat it too much is to take too 
much away from Harry and his story. Harry's story + Draco's story 
makes for more than 3 books worth of material. Treat Draco turning 
lightly, and she'll be rampaged for making light of racism. That's 
one of the reasons I doubt he'll reform.
