Anne:

Maybe there is a forshadowing.  In chapter 15 of PS/SS, Harry and 
Draco end up together in the Forbidden Forest, following the unicorn 
blood.  They walk together for quite a while until they see something. 
 Together, they inch closer until they make out the unicorn lying 
dead.  Then they see a figure glide to it and begin to drink the 
blood.  It is at this point, when *they are still unobserved* that 
Draco lets out a yell, and he and Fang take off.  Draco's yell is 
what draws Quirrellmort's attention to Harry.

So even if Draco does join the good side, would he be basically 
useless?  Especially as compared to Neville (now there's a twist for 
you)?
