 Just to list it all out:
> PS/SS: red herring, Snape; villain, Quirrell
> CoS: red herring, Draco; villain, Ginny/Tom Riddle
> PoA: red herring, Sirius; villain, Peter Pettigrew
> GoF: red herring, Karkaroff; villain, Moody/Barty Crouch, Jr.
> OotP: red herring, Snape; villain, Kreacher
> If we take HBP as one book in and of itself I guess we'd have to 
say that the red herring was Draco and the villain was Snape (though 
that sounds neater than it actually fell out).  Mainly because Harry 
expected Draco to kill Dumbledore and instead (dun-dun-DAH) Snape 
did it.
But if we take HBP as part one of a two parter I think it's safer 
to  put both Snape and Draco as the red herring since they've been 
so neatly handed to us as the villains.  Or maybe Snape as the red 
herring and Draco as the secondary mystery.  Either way, the real 
villain has yet to be revealed.  (DUN-DUN-*DAAHH*!)

EC here:
I've been struggling since my initial readings of HBP with the 
deceptively neat and sweet explanation for Tonks.  All her behavior 
was out of love for Lupin? Although I did take some pleasure in 
seeing some romance for both of them, especially Lupin, her 
behavior, the change in her patronus, etc. are starting to look like 
the same sort of stuff we read now with that knowing eye about 
Quirrell, Moody, Karkaroff, etc.  
My gut tells me that somehow both Draco and Snape will be somewhat 
vindicated in Book 7, requiring an immense amount of mindset 
shifting from our Harry. Betsy, this follows your 'red herring' idea 
for book 6.  Whom do you see as the potential ESE character?
I believe that part of the struggle in Book 7 will deal with this 
adjustment of loyalties/ rethinking of Snape and Draco, because 
Harry will have to sort it out before finishing/ being finished by 
Voldemort. I further believe that Dumbledore's statement to Draco on 
the tower will be equally telling for Book 7, the idea that he knows 
there is some good in him.
