I don't know if the HBP would be Draco  although I think it would be
interesting if an "error" or a "coverup" were discovered in his family tree.
But I think there's a good chance that the HBP is in LV's camp.  After all,
Harry is the central hero of the story.  It seems to me that if the HBP is a
good guy, that he would overshadow Harry.  But a good story needs conflict,
and having the HBP be a bad guy creates that conflict in a great way.
