  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....


  Joj:

  I agree!  I think Malfoy is going to do some serious harm in the next book, and I think he's going to use Hermione to do it. 
   
  I've always thought he was going to hurt Hermione, but after the way he threatened Harry at the end of OotP, I got goose bumps.

   JKR made Harry and Hermione closer in this book.  She made him depend on her more. I've been wondering why. I don't think it was for shipping reasons, at least not only for shipping reasons.  If she puts Hemione with Harry or Ron, it will be for the good of the bigger plot. With Harry and Hermione so close now, I think it would be the best way for Draco to hurt Harry.  I think he's always wanted to get Hermione anyways, but now, with his revenge rage, he might do more than hurt her.  

  Joj,  who loves hermy and hopes she's wrong!
