i think i've been misunderstood...i didn't mean for the whole harry/draco thing to sound quite as cliche as it did... :oops: oopsie but i agree that the whole "final battle" thing is blah...and i know that J.K. being her wonderful self will do somthing epic to completly confound us all

I think draco will become important yes.I have also noticed the words cliched being used in every other sentence and i frankly am getting tired of it i mean something "cliched" is inevitable i mean they either become friends and help each other fight LV or they stay enimies and the downfall of both LV and the entire wizarding population.so if you look at it they are both clicched as you guys have put it.I think that hogwarts will become united in the fight agianst LV. Mainly because it is being stressed so much that everyone put differences aside and help one another, but i am not saying everyone is going to be one big happy family what i am saying is that everyone at hogwarts students and staff will all have one thing in there agenda which is to fight or rise up agianst LV.

or maybe simply, it will go on as it is : DM will not be the first to congratulate Harry in killing VD and sending his dad back into prison etc... the relationship that is bound to change (or I think will change) is the one between Severus and DM ...

Hermione Weasly, having Draco and Harry end up fighting each other is not cliche. I think people are using cliche to mean 'overused' and 'corny' or 'superficial'.

And Harry Potter is not a love story, and I don't think everything will turn out to be alright in the end.

Draco is the bully. Lots of fan fics feature Draco turning good, so if this were a fan fic, I'd think that maybe he could, but the books make it pretty clear that he is not good. He is always snotty and mean around Harry.

Perhaps "blood may prove to be thicker than water?"

But I doubt it- Rowling has never been big on family love- look at Dudley and Harry.


yes i DO believe that Draco is related to me! :grin:

uhhhhh, ok, right, sure he is, and back on topic, i do not think that draco will turn good, he is established as bad, he supports his father, and thus supports voldemort

okay well see i still question dracos motives for obeying his father the way he does......transport to amatur pshyc lounge.....i belive that dracos esential snobishness may simply be a product of him conpensating for the undoubtdly turbulent upbringing...go back to the first book draco *wanted* he and harry to be freinds...but if hes really as slytherin as everyone says than why would he want to become freinds with someone any voldie supporter (aka draco's father) would by definition hate....except of course to complete some nefarious plot thought up by his father (i refuse to belive an 11 year old capable of cold blooded murder) which actaully brings me to my point....draco malfoy is the product of a facade he presents to please his father...i mean look at how many people say hes an exact clone of lucius, and consider that it is increably rare for any child, especially teenagers, to be soo like one parent without some kind of mental malfunction, to put it very untechnicly, but then the real question becomes can draco keep up his mask..*DRAMACTIC MUSIC*


damn another ultra long message chock-full of bad spelling sorry guys! :grin:

Ok so maybedraco wanted to be friends with harry in a plot to get harry closer to the danger so that when LV comes back he will know exactly where he was most of the time, because harry and draco will comunicate to one other during the holidays.

right, that's what i'm saying, he obviously didn't have good intentions when he asked him to be friends, think about what he said

I think Harry might end up saving Draco's life; ending up in some sort of mutual bond. Not exactly friends, though.

hmmm...I think Draco actually tried to befriend Harry because like all bullies they have a low self esteem. Draco prolly just wanted to boost his self esteem by making himself friends with the most obvious choice of The Most Popular and Powerful kid in their year. He feels bitter because Harry chose not to be friends with the other powerful kids in his year (draco is monetarily powerful, while Crabbe and Goyle have brawn) but with kids that (according to the Malfoy family) are not even fit to be wizards: A Pure-Blood from a Muggle Loving Family, and a Muggle-Born...
So Draco is now bitter...trying to drag Harry down in order to make himself look good...I think his father only worsens it, not eggs it...but now i think it will be different...

My opinion is that Draco is just a character. People think he is significant and he is, but only when Harry is younger. I think he will become less and less important as the plot goes on, as Harry is old enough and above Draco's childish games. ALthough i could be wrong. It could go completely the other way.
