POA/HPB connection and a couple of comments on Draco and Myrtle :)

I know before the book came out we were looking for connections between Chamber and Pure blood prince and while this may very well be true in that we learn the other part of Voldemort's history I do want to play privy to some major facts that to me make HPB much closer to POA than to Chamber.
 
1. They both include another character in the title other than Harry (and are the only books to do so).
 
2. They both are the only books that aren't going to include a confronatation with Voldemort.
 
3.  They both include characters that are perhaps misunderstood.  Snape if he he was acting on Dumbledore's wishes is likely to be condemed for a crime that he truly did not commit (while he did commit it...it was not an act of evilness.
 
This is why I can't imagine that Snape is evil..I just can't.  The only other character that Jo has named a book after besides Harry is Sirius to me the naming of a book is an honor rewarded them a higher purpose. 
 
 
Okay on to the Draco Malfoy stuff.  I don't know if this has been mentioned but someone made a comment on a board that I frequent that it was interesting that Draco picked the only known surviving victim of Voldemort who still lurked the castle to visit with..to confide in.  To me that just screams redemption.  I would almost feel cheated if we don't get something from Malfoy now.
