Well! This would be a boring list if we ever totally agreed. :-)
I appreciate the different points of view about Draco. Especially
Heidi's imaginative speculation on what is could be going on inside of
Draco's head.
I still think he's evil. BUT there have been a couple of excellent posts
that I want to acknowledge.
Cassie posted that she thinks Draco hasn't done anything irredeemable in
canon yet. I think the Cedric remark was irredeemable - but it made me
think about what might happen if Draco actually saw some of the Death
Eaters in practice. Not stuff like at what happened at the World Cup -
what would happen if Draco saw his father lay waste to a group of
Muggles and then turn to Draco and say, "Your turn". Would Draco pull
out his wand with glee? Would he suddenly grow a heart? Or would he wet
his leather pants instead? (Sorry Heidi).
I also like Magda's suggestion that Voldemort might demand of Lucius
that he sacrifice Draco - and Lucius might comply, paving the way for a
Draco redemption.
I stand by my opinion that Draco is evil, and he made that remark about
Cedric knowingly and with intentional malice - but the door hasn't quite
closed on him just yet.
Off to write "A Day in the Life of Draco's Summer Vacation",
