>>>By the way, what do we think will happen to Draco

imagine he will live (though his father may not), to
give us the impression that Harry will have to fight
evil even after graduating from Hogwarts.<<<

And now Odile (that would be me):

How I love the symbolic aspect of the Harry
Potterverse.  JKR is masterful at mixing and
embellishing, yet staying true to the classic
"formula" of epic storytelling.  As I do not have the
patience to expound on that angle (others have done so
before me anyhow!), I'd like to just jump in on the
possible fate of our Draco.  The way I see it:

Harry is the brave and chivalrous Gryffindor.  Who or
what is more brave and chivalrous than a knight?  The
patron saint of England is Saint George - Saint George
is best known for killing a dragon.

[Plus, I thought it was cool when Kenneth Branagh
signed up for TCTMNBN II - I kept expecting him to
shout (as he did in Henry V): "...and on this charge
cry God for Harry!  England!  And Saint George!"]

So, IMNSHO, I expect a big showdown between Harry and
Draco, and while I doubt Harry will actually *kill*
Draco (at least not intentially), I expect Harry will
win the day.  

Or not.  ^_~

Just my two knuts.

appearance at Gryffindor tower before book seven...
