It may be long past, but don't see the possibility for friendship. 
There is nothing in Draco to command respect: he's not wicked, but 
he's not good either. He's a weakling with good survival instincts. 
His mother has ten times his guts. And we are told in the epilogue 
that his son is his carbon copy, just as Al is Harry's. I really 
can't see them becoming mates.
