Draco Malfoy-- The Center of the HP Universe?

Have you ever just thought to yourself that perhaps Draco Malfoy has 
more of a *key* part in the Harry Potter book series? No? Oh well, 
that's why I'm here to influence you all into believing this little 
theory. 

All information will be paraphrased the best I can. I'm too lazy to 
find the *actual* text and attempt to piece together four books worth 
of information

1. Ron's friendship with Harry 
If Draco hadn't insulted Ron on the train ride during Harry's first 
year, then perhaps Ron and Harry wouldn't be such close friends. The 
only reason why they became such good friends is because of Draco's 
insult toward Ron and Harry sticking up for Ron. They might have 
*gasp* remained only acquantinces if this didn't happen. Oh the 
horror in that thought =p

2. The Hippogriff and Sirius Black
Draco's injury from the Hippogriff caused Buckbeak to be tied up and 
almost executed by Walden MacNair, Head of the Disposal of Magical 
Creatures. Harry and Hermione were able to save Buckbeak and Sirius 
Black because of Buckbeak. If the Hippogriff wasn't tied up, then 
Hermione and Harry couldn't have saved Sirius--due to he's too high 
off the ground to be rescued. And it's all thanks to Draco's injury.

3. CoS Dueling Club
If Draco and Harry hadn't dueled with each other, the Snake wouldn't 
have come out of Draco's wand-- revealing Harry was a Parseltongue. 
This means that Hermione wouldn't have been able to do her research 
and Ginny Weasley would have been murdered-- allowing Tom Riddle to 
return. (Gosh I would have loved that.. Riddle, YUM). Harry and Ron 
were able to save the day all because of Draco's dueling at Dueling 
Club.

4. GoF Rita Skeeter.
By having Draco talking into his hand to the illegal Animagus form of 
our "beloved" reporter Rita SKeeter, Hermione was able to figure out 
who she really was. This became essential to part of the plot because 
all of the lies she caused throughout the fourth book. (ie: Hagrid's 
past, Hermione being a Scarlet Woman, and Harry Potter's secret 
heartache).

5. Quidditch
All thanks to Neville's remembrall and Draco stealing it, Harry was 
able to make the house team. Was this a ploy so that Draco would make 
the team the next year and play the same possition? In any case, if 
Draco hadn't done that, Harry wouldn't have been made the new seeker 
and won the house cup during his third year.


I could go on and on, however Dinner is ready and I need to eat. 
Draco is clearly the center of the HP universe. If anyone has any 
comments, do reply.
