Betsy Hp:
I think your "Harry-roulette" (love, the name by the way <g>) can be 
applied more to Snape than Draco.  While Harry has never liked 
Draco, except for the Heir of Slytherin incident in CoS I don't 
think he ever thought of Draco as the big bad.  (Or even the little 
bad, for that matter -- more the big annoying, I think.)

So that Harry was the only one to recognize the very real danger 
Draco presented throughout HBP was, I think, more than just Harry 
making a lucky guess.  Not that he saw Draco clearly, but it was a 
clearer view than those around him.
