Pippin:
But that's the point. The strategic purpose for saving Draco's soul
was gone, but Dumbledore still took the time to save it, though that
time could have been used for strategic purposes such as telling Harry
about the sword.  

Draco's soul is not valuable  because he was a cog in Dumbledore's
wheels within wheels, or a potential hero, or the reformer of
Slytherin House, or Harry's bestest friend, or the guy who
will make the Trio sorry they ever assumed that Slytherins were no
good, or because he could become a cool, sly, masterful Slytherin like
Snape at Spinner's End. 

It's valuable because...it exists.
