If I remember correctly, and if I don't I am sure someone here can
correct me, didn't both Dumbledore and the Sorting Hat say something
about all the Houses at Hogwarts will have to work together to defeat
Voldemort? I think then that that will have to happen.
It seems by the seventh year Draco will be the (at least unofficial)
leader of his House and for Slytherin to side with Hogwarts rather
than the Death Eaters it may be because Draco has a change of heart.
Or everyone in Slytherin but Draco and his cronies side with Hogwarts
and Draco ultimately suffers a terrible comeuppance.
Thoughts?
Carol:
You're right about the Sorting Hat (see "The sorting Hat's New Song"
in OoP.
As for Draco as unofficial lead of Slytherin, that could well be. He's
already the leader of a gang of Slytherins, including Pansy Parkinson
as well as Crabbe and Goyle (but apparently not Theodore Nott).
However, the *official* head of Slytherin is Snape, and unless
Dumbledore is wrong (which I doubt), Snape is on the good side, which
means that we're probably going to see some sort of conflict between
Snape and Draco, if not in Book 6 then in Book 7. Maybe that will be
the moment when Harry and Ron finally learn where Snape's loyalties
really lie. (I also see Theo Nott playing some sort of role--the good
guy mistaken for a bad guy in HBP? I hope not. We've seen that card
played too many times.)
Draco in Azkaban with Daddy, anyone? (Probably not. Lucius will
probably escape in book 6.) Draco, the incredible bouncing serpent,
courtesy of Snape? (Not permanent enough, and Snape doesn't
transfigure his students, however much he may threaten or insult
them.) I give up. But I think a "comeuppance" for Draco is a lot more
likely than a "change of heart." And although I foresee conflict
between Draco and Snape, I think the "comeuppance" will ultimately
come from Ron.
