Betsy Hp:
I *would* be surprised if Draco gets killed in the opening pages of 
book 7.  After spending all that time in HBP building and deepening 
the character of Draco it would be odd for JKR to turn him into a 
footnote.

Betsy Hp:
I agree.  I'd add that just by taking the Vow Snape signaled his 
willingness to die to protect Draco.  Of course, I see Snape as DDM 
(Dumbledore's Man) and since Dumbledore sacrificed so much to save 
Draco I can't see Snape allowing all of Dumbledore's work to go to 
waste.
