Ally:

Jenny, you're absolutely right.  JKR has specifically said that the 
idea of Harry and Draco working together is nothing more than an 
internet rumor.  She's also said that people are "getting too fond of 
Draco" (at the Royal Albert Hall thingy in 2003).
  
I think Draco is not long for the HP universe.  Draco is as close to 
a purely two dimensional portrait of evil as the books have come.  
Even V has been given more complexity than Draco has.  It seems 
pretty clear to me that JKR has not invested much time in developing 
him as a character - he's there to be a juvenile thorn in Harry's 
side -  a plot device.  I think he'll go on a full-bent revenge quest 
against Harry and get himself killed trying to do something harmful 
to Harry or the trio.
