boAt this point, Snape is the closest thing we have to a Slytherin who 
might buck the expectations.  If he turns out to have Gryff 
connections, that sort of takes the complexity out of him to a 
certain extent and just plays him more into the black/white 
distinction of Gryff = good; Slyth = bad (and I know that Pettigrew 
debunks this theory somewhat, but I still think a Slyth who is fairly 
visible in the books needs to be shown in a good light for the 
black/white dichotomy to be really thrown out).  


My reply:

 

Which is why I still maintain that Draco will turn out to be good.  After reading OOp I started to think that perhaps Severus was Draco's godfather.  I think that there is a special connection between Draco and Snape that I hasn't been in the books completely but there is some hint to it in OOP.  During one of the occulumency lessons Draco comes into the room, and Snape calls him by his first name.  I think he repeated this two or three times.  To me it indicates that Snape calls him by his first name when they are not in class.  I think this shows that Snape really cares for Draco in some form. I do not think that he is just "tolerating" him.  He may just be tolerating Crabbe and Goyle but I think he truly likes Draco.  The truth is he probably sees the potential that Draco has a human being.  If Draco would help the good side and not the bad, if Snape can persuade him to do this it could be just the type of inner-house unity that is needed in the books.  

 

Will it happen, to be honest I'll be dissappointed if it doesn't.  I just think there has to be more to Draco and honestly we did see a little bit more of him just in this scene.  If nothing else we see that he appears to respect Snape and Snape seems to genuinely have some caring feelings towards Draco.  

Or I could be reading way too much into this.
