> This is a very good point.  In the future I see Harry & Draco 
forming an alliance to work together against Voldemort, albeit an 
uneasy alliance.  I don't believe that Draco knows the full extent of 
his father's activities, but I believe he is more afraid of his 
father than he lets on. And the easiest way to deal with those 
feelings is to turn them outward and take them out on someone else - 
in this case our trio, espcecially Hermione.

Sirius are in the exact position where Harry and Draco will find 
themselves in the future.  They do not like each other nor do they 
trust each other - but for the good of the cause, they are having to 
put aside their personal feelings and work alongside Dumbledore in 
fighting Voldemort.

For this parallel to work, Draco is going to have to do something to 
earn the trust of Dumbledore, just as Snape did. And it's going to 
have to be big. If Dumbledore approves, then Harry will grudgingly go 
along, but not before.

As for Sirius and Snape, if I was Dumbledore, I'd keep them on 
separate ends of the battlefield for now. 

As for me, I'd rather see Draco go the other way. I'd rather see him 
out-Lucius Lucius. I'd like him to take a look at the full extent of 
his father's activities and say with an evil laugh, "Well, that's 
very good, Dad, but how about THIS?"

The books are running short of villains. Snape is now a good guy. 
Wormtail has still got that life debt thing to Harry to deal with. 
Crouch is dead. The DEs are so far non-factors and only Lucius has 
any character development. Crouch is dead. Bagman and Lockhart are 
jokes. Rita Skeeter has potential, as does Fudge, but that needs more 
development.

Keep Draco evil. Make him MORE evil, I say. Make it an even match 
between him and Harry.
