I know this may sound horrid, but I don't want Draco to die a "hero's death."  I don't necessarily *want* him to die, but it may happen.  If it does, I think it may be more of a, what's the word, casualty?  No.  Martyr?  No.  Anyway, can't find the right word. Something like Voldemort killing/torturing him when he gets in a mood and Lucius standing idly by.  Able, but not willing to save him.  What's the word for that?

I was a firm believer in that for a while.  Lily's eye color being green, the green of Slytherin.  The fact that Tom Riddle's eye color was never mentioned.  Voldemort's hesitation to kill Lily, the "silly girl" comments, among other things.  But then you have Riddle describing himself as being so much like Harry, who looks so much like James.  So I had it so twisted around in my mind that I confused myself completely.  At the moment I don't really think Harry is related to Voldemort on either side, though I still think the combined heir of Gryffindor/Slytherin would've been cool if it had worked. :)
