Well, I would like to second this notion.  I not only thought it was 
humorous, but I thought the treatment was justice at its finest.  True, 
maybe he went a little overboard, but I think that Malfoy had it coming 
for a long time.

I don't think this is going to happen.  Draco has been mean ever since we 
have known him. True, people can change, but I just don't see it happening 
in this case.  Now, if by some stroke of miracle, Draco saves Harry 
somehow, or he starts acting good for a change, I will be the first to 
admit that I was wrong.
