The Isolation of Malfoy?

[Meg Boyd]

oooh...you have something there i think...remember in CoS when the message "Enemies of the Heir beware, the chamber of secrets is opened" (or something like that) is written in blood on the wall and Draco shouts, "You'll be next mudbloods"...maybe he said this as a warning to the muggle borns and half & halfs to know it was them who the slytherin monster was after...hmm...where have we seen nasty things that Draco said that could be warnings...hmm?

I'm starting to believe that Draco is rotten to the core. As for that comment he made in GoF, that the deatheaters were after mudbloods so the trio should get going, I think that he was just showing off that he wasn't in danger or at all panicked by the situation.

He may also have know who those particular Death Eaters were. (his father, maybe a couple of aunts etc.....)

Not to dash any hopes that Draco will turn out well but...
I read just yesterday on another website that had an archive of transcripts of JKR interviews that Harry and Draco will NOT unite over anything ever. Which in my opinion means, Draco's not going to ever be written with any truly redeeming qualities. That doesn't mean other Slytherins won't come into the picture as positive, but it doesn't look like Draco will have a path other than the "bad egg" (like in Willy Wonka) chute.

Just because Draco and Harry dont unite does not mean that something good may not come from Draco. Harry will of course hate Draco forever and vice versa, but maybe Draco will do something good that Harry wont ever know about.

I think that maybe Draco will do something good, and that Harry will know about it. I dont think that it would ever unite the pair, maybe create a mutual respect for each other over the act. they have had such a long standing hatred towards each other i dont think that that could easily be broken. but instead bring a more mature level to the way they act towards each other.

I see what you mean, that would make sense. So, do you think that their relationship may turn out sort of like Lucius and Arthur? Like how they are for the most part amiable in public, but behind closed doors they really hate each other?

[Violet]

Yeah pretty much the same. so that there is always the under-lying hatred but it rarely comes out unless provoked. which unfortunately seems quite likely with Malfoy. Although harry usually seems quite capable of restraining himself where Malfoy's concerned i dont think that he can keep it up forever, especially with this new angry attitude he seems to have got himself.

i think draco is mean, and has been told a lot of evil things by his father.

but that doesn't mean he is evil. as i have said before... somewhere i can't remember... history repeats itself in this book and we just have to find which man that draco looks up to will he follow- his father or snape? snape hates harry and hated harry's father, but he's still on the good side. is there any reason why draco shouldn't do the same?

also- (this relates to this subject, since obviously hermione wouldn't go out with someone evil) hermione and malfoy? i know this is a rumor going around. malfoy makes fun of hermione in a very mean way, but still- you know the boy in second grade who called you names or pulled your pigtails because he really has a crush on you? could it be the same concept?

hehe, Draco and Hermione, thats what I've always hoped for, bu cant really expect! I think it would be great! but I think that a lot of you will disagree with that

[Eol]

Draco may end up liking Hermione, but I can't even imagine Hermione liking Draco, after everthing he's put her through. If that does happen I'd be mortified.

[AccioNiffler]

Haha, you're right Eol, Hermione would probably never go for that!

[Violet]

Well i have to agree with you on the hermione/draco subject! i cant see it happening, i do think that draco (as result of his father) believes that 'mudbloods' shouldn't be in hogwarts, and truly does dislike them. And well Hermione has had to suffer a lot because of the nasty things that Draco says about her, so i dont think that she would easily be able to forgive him.

Thats a good point actually i dont know if he would follow his father or snape. i mean he must know that snape was a death eater so maybe he will follow in his thinking and be on the good side. Especially if his father is in azkaban that will take away the main influence in his life that contributes to his evil side.

I was also reading OoTP today and i realised that Sirius as a child was in a a similar position to Malfoy with regards to the opinions of his parents. I mean we know that the Black's hated Mudbloods etc and was only interested in the pure wizarding families. It would have been easy for Sirius to follow the same path and end up thinking just like Malfoy does now.
So i think this may suggest that Malfoy will break away from the traditions of his family. However it could be suggested that Sirius was a good person in the beginning anyway, unlike Malfoy appears to be.
What do you think?

I don't think Malfoy will ever redeem himself, not after everything he has done.
