new level, but it would give Harry a very interesting obstacle to 
overcome in  dealing with life at Hogwarts in his final year.  
Especially if the  war and LV come to Hogwarts to fight the final 
battle, with I'm  convinced they will.  It might force the two boys 
to work together  to  unite the school against a common foe.

His comments at the end of GoF and OoP indicate quite the opposite.

Mandy again:
No I haven't seen anything in Draco that hints toward him eventually 
fighting LV.  

I'm thinking along the lines of the theory that suggests that the 
school must unite to prevent its fall.  As we know so few Slytherins, 
it seems that presently Draco is the only available candidate to join 
Slytherin House with Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.  There is 
some peculation about Nott, but unless he becomes a major player in 
the next book it's unlikely, imo.

The reasons for Draco joining Harry are going to have to be extreme, 
and very interesting. The murder of one or both of Draco's parents 
seems the only possibility at the moment.
