I would be very surprised if anything Draco does makes any long term
difference. After fighting dragons and experiencing first hand the
horrors of Dementors and Voldemort Draco must seem like nothing more
than a irritating mosquito to Harry.

At the end of the book what on earth could Draco do with his "prefect
authority" that would intimidate Harry in the slightest? Draco might
not be a genius but he's smart enough to know Harry hopelessly
outmatched him, and considering Harry's state of mind at the time
Draco was very lucky Snape showed up when he did. If Draco was
thinking of detention or deducting house points Harry was thinking of
murder.
