Harry & Draco friends, is he really that rotten?

Hi all.  I've been doing lots of filks and lurking around this yahoo 
group but I have an idea.  This might have come up in the past but I 
was wondering....

It would be neat if in book 6/7 that Harry and Draco wind up becoming 
friends.  And better yet, Draco rebels against his father.  He gets 
tired of the Slytherin prejudice BS and helps harry fight Voldemort.  
Is Draco that rotten to the core?  After all in book 1 he got afraid 
when he saw Voldemort drinking the unicorn blood.  Perhaps he didn't 
realized who or what that was.

That brings in the "bad guy becomes good" plot that some stories 
have.  But on the other hand, that sometimes can turn really really 
ugly (Smeagol in LoTR).

I don't know, I guess I really really try to find good in even bad 
people.  There's obviously no good in Voldemort, but is there?  Why 
is he doing all this?  To avenge his mother?  Hmm...  That means he 
has some kind of sentiment for her.  Even Snape has a few redeeming 
qualities.  Lucius... hmmm...  now he's rotten to the core.  He's 
never done any good in the canon....
