Me:
I don't speak even a little Latin, but I always took the "Draconis" 
to mean "dragon", as "Draco" does. I never thought of it as bye-bye 
Malfoy. I think it's stretching it to call that a hint. She very 
well may kill Draco off, but she had better do it in an interesting 
way, as I'll be very sorry to see him go. He's so cardboard at this 
point; I really think he has a lot of potential as a character, 
whether he becomes a DE or, as I'd like, a total bastard who isn't 
ESE, a la Snape.
