Kelly now:
If a Gryffindor/Slytherin alliance is needed in order to defeat Voldemort we
already have the perfect set up between Harry and Snape.
Sooner or later Harry is going to have to realize that he will need help.
Like it or not Snape is the most able to do this.


Sherry now:

I firmly believe it will be the young people who will bring about the
downfall of Voldemort, and that it will be the young people who will unite
the houses, if that is going to happen.  As I also believe Draco will be one
who is redeemed, if JKR is going that way, I think it will be Draco and
Harry who bring about the Gryffindor/Slytherin uniting in the process.  In a
way, the entire six years of dislike between Draco and Harry would be a
brilliant background to bring about this change.  Harry saw that Draco began
to lower his wand on the tower, that Draco could not murder Dumbledore.  I
can't imagine any scenario under which Harry would ever trust Snape, but I
don't believe in greater good murders of generals by lieutenants either.
And I never liked Draco till I started feeling compassion for him during
moments in HBP, So I'm not suggesting this Draco and Harry ability to learn
to work together from the view of a Draco fan.  I just think it's been
telegraphed by Draco and Harry on the tower at the end of HBP.  I also
think, from JKR comments I read once--wish I could find it again--that the
author is focusing more on the young characters than the adults.  Yes,
unfortunately, Snape will have a role to play somehow, for good or ill, but
I predict it will be Draco who will work with Harry to defeat Voldemort.
Not that they will become best buddies or anything else.  Just that they
will put aside their dislike to work together for the sake of their world.
Now that's the sort of greater good scenario I can believe and would like to
see.
