Draco has been stuck at the same level of character development for a 
while, IMO.  He snarks at Harry, gloats over any Griffindor problems, 
insults Hermione and or Ron, gets all puffed up with his goons on the 
train ride home, and then loses the skirmish to Harry and friends. 

I'd think he still has a part to play in the upcoming books, unless 
his whole point for being put in at all was to show how unimportant 
his schoolboy grudge/rivalry with Harry really is.  It seemed 
important in the earlier books, but it turns out that Draco is small 
potatoes when you're Harry, the kid who has fairly regular dates with 
Voldemort.  If JKR doesn't have anything new for Draco to do, then 
she might as well send him off to Durmstrang.  I won't miss him.
