Kenney, I watch Buffy also, so there's three of us in here!  (I 
can't believe Xander's eye was poked in! :()

Anyhow, I like the idea of a Draco redeem, but only if he is exactly 
like Cassandra's Draco.  I absolutely love the fan fic by Cassandra, 
which is called Draco Series (it isn't done yet :().  Draco can 
still be the, pardon my language, ass and bully, but have the utmost 
respect and trust for Harry.  *IF* Hermione and Ron get together, 
*IF*, Harry may feel left out and become friends with Draco, but I 
think this will cause Ron to be jealousy of Harry and Draco's 
relationship and not be able to accept it.  This time Ron will not 
want to be friends with Harry at all.

I see a lot of "Ron problems" rising from Harry and Draco's 
relationship.  Hermione would accept Draco because if Harry trusts 
him then there has to be a reason for her to trust him as well.  At 
least that's the way I would see it.

Draco... redeemed? I'm not so sure of this, I mean the school 
needs a bully, and the wizard world needs jerks. Redeemed? No but 
yes, he is harmless

Hey maybe some other bully will rise from the masses?
