Hmm... I really like the *idea* of a redeemable Draco.  Maybe this 
generation's Snape?  --a good guy, just not good at it, maybe still 
mean and nasty, but good.

Maybe he'll be able to think through things with Daddy in prison or 
on the run. . .  Maybe Narcissa is really working for Dumbledore. . . 
Maybe Draco will figure out that Snape is on Dumbledore's side, and 
he'll have to re-evaluate some things. . .  Who knows?  It would be 
the ultimate picture of unity if he came over. . . and maybe we could 
see his character rounded out a bit.  He seems little more than an 
annoyance by the end of OOP. . .
