catkind:  Hmm, certainly I don't expect Malfoy jr redeemed by 
Chapter 6 of Bk 6.  But Detour?  Suggests to me we may see a bit 
more of the boy than we have so far, whether for good or for bad.  
Up to this point, Harry wouldn't be likely to know that Draco was 
going from A to B, let alone that he was doing it via C, let alone 
this fact being important enough to make a chapter heading.  Mostly 
he just shows up long enough to be snarky or get beaten up or both.  

 Detour via Azkaban? Maybe, but on the way from where to where? 

 Harry's more likely to notice him detouring if they've made it back 
to school already.  Detour to do something annoying en route from 
the Sorting Feast to the dungeons?

 Another wild suggestion as to how to get Draco into the book so 
early:  Narcissa Black might feel obliged to attend Sirius' wake, at 
the mysterious Spinners End of course, with unwilling sprog in tow. 
(After all, it seems that wizard law will hand Grimmauld Place to 
either Narcissa or Bellatrix, if Sirius couldn't be disinherited 
neither can they. )
