Me:

Okay, I'm not going to toot my own horn, but what the heck! I also 
came up with a similar theory quite some time ago, as I'm sure many 
others have. However, I didn't think it through as much as Felinia 
did.

However, here is something I posted a while ago, but will do again 
since it solidifies Felinia's theory (which I will call it since she 
came up with it). In the book "the Ultimate Unofficial Guide to the 
Mysteries of Harry Potter" by Galadriel Waters (an absolutely, 
fantastic book! A must-have!), on page 88 it reads: Lucius - ....it 
coincidentally was the name of Pope St. Lucius I, who became Pope 
when the exiled St. Cornelius died.  WHAT??? Cornelius died and 
Lucius become the head? Could it really happen in HP?

I'm with you Felinia and derannimer. I think this will happen. 
However....if it does, I see Draco not being redeemed. I mean, his 
father is MOM - why would he not want to be a DE? Being the series is 
about choice, I'm starting to think Draco will show what happens when 
you make the wrong decisions, compared to Harry. I did think he would 
turn good, but now I'm not so sure.

who wishes Lucius would help Harry kill LV and redeem himself, but 
figures the chances of that are 99.99% not happening.  :-(
