OoP: Has Anyone Seen Redeemable Draco???

[RP]

No: HPFGUIDX 66781

No less redeemable as a 15-years-old kid than Bully!James. The fact 
that he doesn't have a Lily to help him out nor a motive to rebel 
against his evil parents is hardly his own fault. If JKR wants to 
redeem him it would be no harder than transforming James, if she 
doesn't plan to then being a loyal son that he is of course he'll 
just sink along with Lucius.
At least he is loyal and honest. You don't see him switching sides 
for his own good like Peter, who in my eyes is ToTALLY, 
unquestionably irredeemable.

> Actually, in a recent interview JKR mentioned that "I think you're

mean 
> something bad's going to happen to Draco, or does this mean that 
he's going

It could also simply mean: Why are you lot identifying with a mean-
mouthed bully? Analyzing JKR's interviews makes my head ache. 

> I for one have never been a fan of Redeemable!Draco, but it's a 

How about look at it this way: If Draco by the end of the series has 
not even ONCE stopped to ponder over his own actions, and just 
believe in every word his dad says, what message would JKR be giving? 
That Hogwarts is a failure as a school? Or that you are doomed once 
born to a not-so-decent family? 

Sirius is a totally a different case, for one he hates his family and 
thus it'd be easy to hate the beliefs his family holds, for two he 
was sorted into Gryffindor, the house of "decent people", and thus 
was exposed to "good" influences. Sigh, if only Lucius and Narcissa 
were super horrible to Draco! Then we'd probably have a little blond-
haired Snape =P
