A lot of people have been writing that Draco has emerged as a clear 
slytherin leader and that he and his "gang" will continue to serve as 
a counterforce to Harry and the DA.  I'm tempted to disagree.  In OOP 
the sorting hat's song was quite unusual in comparison to it's 
previous songs.  It was actually giving advice to the wizarding 
world, namely that the houses had to unite or destruction would 
come.  I think that it's not too much of a stretch to assume that JKR 
means to end the books with a unified hogwarts, or we'd have to 
assume they are eventually going to arrive at thier downfall (if the 
sorting hat has any significance).  Anyway, I therefore am a strong 
believer in Draco's Redemption, because I believe that's the ultimate 
event that'll lead to a unified hogwarts because really the most 
conflict between the house is occuring between Gryffindor and 
Slytherin.
                             Just my two cents,
                                  *Yaira*
