Potioncat:
I'm not a shipper.  I'm not sure that romantic situations need to be 
resolved by the end of book 7.  While some RW and WW couples do form 
in their teens, most don't.

Having said that, your idea has some merit.  And it made me think, 
what if Harry is in Potions but Draco isn't?  How will Snape treat 
him then? (I'm sure Draco could make an O in Potions OWLS, but what 
if his chosen field of study doesn't require potions or leave him 
time for it?) It will be a smaller class and the houses will be 
mixing more I'd think. Harry might also get the chance to know Nott 
and the other Slytherin boy.
