<Ok, I'm not sure if this question - or thought- has been discussed, although I know quite a lot has been written on the subject of Draco.  Am I the only person that thinks that Draco will turn out to be a good guy in the end?  I have a theory that Lucius will die and it will be because of his association with the dark arts that he is killed.  I think this event will traumatize Draco and make him rethink exactly how great dark arts are.  Either that or maybe someone like HRH or any other good character will save Dracos life causing him to take a different look at his life and the direction it is taking.  I would love to hear any and all opinions on my train of thought.  And if you think it's rediculously stupid please don't send too many howlers LOL!!!!

Beckah,

No you are so not the only person who thinks that Draco is redeemable actually that is one of the more popular theories.  I adore the idea of this happening because I think that JKR gives us a glimpse into Draco's life by showing how abusive Lucius is towards him...I sympathized with Draco, I think that was intentional on her part to make us feel sorry for him.  I don't think she would go out of her way to make us feel sorry for a character that doesn't have some prospect of being redeemed.  

So here is my redemption theory for Draco. Lucius will want Draco to get information about Potter, and try to get one of his friends to come over to his side (for information mainly).  I think this person will be Ron.  Why Ron? Because he is the most likely to get to a point where he doesn't want to even talk to Harry, because of his temper. And he can provide a lot more information than Hermione can...he lives in the same dorm after all.  However, I think while it started out on devious terms, Draco will actually start to like Ron.  He's sarcastic, funny, and a pure blood after all.  So I think when it comes time for Voldemort to kill Ron (because Ron will not want Voldemort to win or Harry to die even if they aren't friends anymore).  Draco will start to defend Ron and then he will see that Voldie has turned on them and will turn on Voldie.

 

Okay so it's far fetched..but wouldn't make a great fan fic?
