"Has Draco done something to officially make hime evil?  Yes, he has 
learned to be somewhat of a jerk from his father.  But, that does not 
mean that he wont see the error of his ways.  Children can come from 
questionable homes everyday and still can turn out ok.  How many 
times have various characters stated that people "deserve second 
chances."  I feel there is hope for Malfoy.  He is only in 9th 
grade.  He comming to the age in which he can and will start to think 
on his own.  James Potter had a distaste for Snape but he still saved 
his life.  When Crookshanks starts hissing directly at Malfoy
then, I will be convinced."

--I'd be really disappointed if Jo didn't develop Draco as anything 
more than a sniveling little bigot who is exactly like his father. I 
sincerely hope that he comes to the right side, even though I'm sure 
he'll never be soft or mushy...not to mention all those pairs of 
leather trousers he's got in his closet!

Sirusly :0) though I don't know whether the views we've seen from 
Draco are simply his father's talking or his own. At his age there's 
plenty of time for him to change and re-evalute his own views if he 
so wishes. He's still being molded into the person he'll become, and 
I think there's hope yet. (It might just be Fanfiction talking, but I 
hope not!)
