Potioncat:
Oh, I agree.  No hope for Draco!  I just thought it might be one way 
to bring Nott and maybe Zabini into the foreground.  But for all we 
know, they are as bad as Draco in their own ways!

Something else that has crossed my mind is that some of the 
characters will be coming of age (17) in the next two books.  And 
that may play into the plot as well.
