I'm not sure why you think Harry and Draco will fight together for any reason.  
I could be wrong, but I swear I read somewhere that JKR herself said that the 
two would not unite.

I can see Draco going in many directions, but right now, I see him as a 
coward who may not know what to do with himself now that Dear Old Dad is 
in Azkaban.  He seemed to be very angry at Harry at the end of OoP, but I 
haven't seen him do any real harm to Harry, who can run circles around him 
magically.

Wouldn't it also be a bit cliched if Harry and Draco worked together?  It would 
be far more interesting to see Draco really lose it over his father, or to see 
him see his father in a different light and have trouble dealing with that.  Or 
maybe his fellow Slytherins will turn on him because they're sick of his big 
mouth and the problems he tends to cause.  Maybe he'll even end up in St. 
Mungo's, with Gilderoy Lockhart as his roomie.  :-) Or maybe he'll decide he 
can't handle being a DE but he'll always hate Harry.
