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!!!!

I don't really think being saved by Harry & friends will make Draco 
have a sudden change of heart.  If anything it would probably make 
him hate them more, like the way Snape feels about James.

Susan:
This sounds even more like Snape.  If Draco does change sides (and 
I'm not convinced he will) I think this is the mostly likely way it 
will play out.  

Does it count as being redeemed if you go over to the good side, but 
still hate all the good guys?
