I would love to read that chapter both for the insight into Draco, but
also for the insight into T.Nott. The only way he could have escaped
Harry's notice for all that time they've been in school together is if
 Nott has left Harry alone; never had any conflict with him.

At the moment, I would say the most interesting characters we are
likely to meet in the new book that have already been introduced, are
Theo Nott and Blaise Zabini.

bboyminn:

I've always felt that the scene in which Draco meets Voldemort would
be a very interesting scene. It would be the point at which Draco's
Pureblood and Death Eater fantasies suddenly meet the harsh realities
of the real world. 

I think Draco see his father as standing shoulder to shoulder with
Voldemort, saving the world from unworthy mudblood/mixed-blood scum.
So, I think the bowing, scraping, hem-of-robe kissing, and total
subservience to Voldemort are going to come as a shock to poor old Draco.

Given the dilemma of having to resolve point-of-view, I could see
Harry viewing via Scar-Vision, that first meeting between Draco and
Voldemort. 

Alternately, it could be that Draco and friends were so thoroughly
messed up by being hit once again with multiple curses at the end of
the book, that they end up in St. Mungo's Hospital. Some how Harry
could discover this by having to visit the hospital. 

Another possibility that resolves POV, is Harry observing Draco
skulking around somewhere. Harry & friends follow Draco while Draco
sneaks of to the Forbiddne Forest, unauthorized visit to the village,
or down Knockturn Alley. Perhaps Draco is meeting a DE to pass
information about what's going on at school. 

Just a few thoughts.
