Draco will definately be back.  

OotP US Hardcover Edition Pg. 850-851

Harry had just descended the last marble step into the entrance hall 
when Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle emerged from a door on the right that 
Harry knew led down to the Slytherin common room.  Harry stopped 
dead; so did Malfoy and the others.  For a few moments, the only 
sounds were the shouts, laughter, and splashes drifting into the hall 
from the grounds through the open front doors.

Malfoy glanced around.  Harry knew he was checking for signs of 
teachers.  Then he looked back at Harry and said in a low 
voice, "You're dead, Potter."

And later on on page 851

"You're going to pay," said Malfoy in a voice barely louder than a 
whisper.  "*I'm* going to make you pay for what you've done to my 
father..."

Oh, yes, Draco will be back.  Here we see some real character 
development.  Even though Draco has been pretty static in the first 4 
books, here we see him develop his revenge motivation.  Draco will be 
a pivotal character in the next two books.  Of course, that is just 
my opinion....
