Pippin:
Then may I humbly ask that you apply  said skills and 
intelligence to explain how  your theory  accounts for Cho Chang, 
Mme Maxime, the Patil sisters, or Fleur Delacour, all of 
whom were able to enjoy a good snog without having set their cap 
for someone or being  morally deficient?  

Fleur does get married, but she was 'extremely busy" with Roger 
Davies before she'd even met Bill. 

Then of course there's Merope, who would clearly
have been better off if she'd  gone for a roll in the hay instead
of a family.

BTW,  if JKR sees not getting to marry Draco as a punishment,
it would seem her opinion of him isn't as low as some think <g>.
