Is it me, though, or is there hope for Draco yet?  I mean, at 14, 
he's a prat, and we know this.  But a lot can change with a few 
years.  There has to be hope for him yet.  I can't see him going 
totally horrific.  It seems that JKR tries to have there be a message 
about change and the nature of evil...is it possible that Draco might 
turn out to be better than that from which he comes?

Hi, by the way, I'm Emma.  I'm new.  Please don't eat me.  *s*
