I understand this isn't exactly a popular theory, but it's one to 
think about: The idea that Draco may be redeemed solely based upon 
cowardice. We know that Voldemort is becoming stronger, and as is the 
current trend, good tends to prevail upon evil. So, feeding off 
Beckah's post, there's the idea that Draco might rethink his 
involvement in the Dark Arts... if only because he fears for his own 
life.

I have a difficult time seeing Draco as 'redeemed' in the future 
because of some sudden moral development ("Oh! How thoughtless of me! 
Evil's not the way to go at all; it HURTS people!"), likely because 
he's far too self-involved. So I suppose I'm of the opinion that 
Draco just might prove to be more loyal to the side of 'good,' but 
only because he knows Voldemort and his followers will likely be 
defeated.
