Oh, I agree with you that his prejudice would get in the way.  I was 
giving the original poster latitude in my reply by pointing out the 
other good qualities that might make Draco fall for Hermione. But I 
do think a D/H pairing is incredibly out of character for both but 
ESPECIALLY Hermione. IMO, Draco's objections to Hermione's are so 
*wrong* one would think he might eventually "see the light."  
Whereas, Hermione's objections to Draco are so *right* that I can't 
imagine a change in her opinion.  

If Draco were to end up with a "good" character, IMO, it would be 
Ginny. She's poor but still pureblood.  And CoS shows us that Ginny 
can be vulnerable to bad boys (hello, Tom Riddle!).  Still, even that 
pairing is quite a stretch.  While I'd say D/H is impossible, D/G is 
merely improbable.
