I can't imagine that Draco will turn good. I see him carrying on the forces 
of evil because, frankly, there is always evil in the world. If Harry finishes 
off Voldemort and the Death Eaters by the end of the series, then that will 
give the symbolic impression that evil has been conquered. But we need Harry 
Potter in the world, just like we need Batman or Superman. Even when the series 
has ended, we need to know why there's still evil in real life, and that 
there's someone to battle it. That's why, IMO, Harry will not die and Draco will not 
turn from the dark side. In fact, I believe Draco will take over where his 
dad left off (when his dad eventually dies -- in the series), and he'll have 
hinted aspirations at becoming the next Voldemort.
