Mandy here,
I think it would have to be.  What about Lucius being executed by LV 
for completely cocking-up the whole MOM incident.  A grieving Draco 
my make a detour to seek out the only person who can kill 
LV....Harry. I'm not suggesting Dragco becomes suddenly good, but it 
might pull him in towards the center of the action in an interesting 
way. 

I don't hold with the helping to break daddy out of prison idea, 
only because of the fact the story is almost always seen though 
Harry's eyes, and would Harry be with Draco to witness the escape?  
Although I suppose if LV was to witness it Harry could see it though 
LV's eyes.

Whatever the detour is, it has to involve our Harry in some way.

Voldy's return & his alliance w/ the Dementors and all.

Mandy here,
Yes.  The difficulty with breaking out of Azkaban was because of the 
Dementor guards, slowly sucking the life out of the inmates and 
draining them of any will to live, let alone escape.  With the 
Dementor's gone the inmates with resolve and desire could rise up 
and get out.  Perhaps the DE had help from other sources too...loyal 
house elves delivering cakes with new wands baked inside.
