Agree.  It's already happened, though.  Remember Draco running like 
hell in the Forbidden Forest during detention in PS/SS.  I thought 
at the time it was only because he was the prototypical bully--can 
dish it out, but can't take it.  Now I think it would take a lot to 
keep him from running away again, from LV this time, especially if 
his father isn't around to be the bigger bully.
