I completely agree here and think the fundamental mistake that JKR
had made is that she never redeems the Slytherins, she shows no hope
for them and for this reason I think everything that Harry Potter has
done to battle Voldemort was a waste!

And here was I, just happy that at the end the Malfoys senior did not
participate in the fight on the side of Voldemort and that they they (Draco
included) seemed desparately unhappy throughout the book while being
reluctant hosts to the Death Eaters.

I never assumed that because the Sorting Hat kept singing about House Unity
and standing together that such a thing had to come to fruition. Would it
have been a nice, pat conclusion for the series to show such an ending.
Yes.  And They All Lived Happily Ever After. That would have been nice. But
the nod from Draco to Harry et. al is certainly better than nothing.
