Ok what are your theories on the fate of Draco Malfoy?
Spoiler:
After the events of HBP i think Draco will get away with failing to kill DD and maybe Lucius or Narcissa will die at the hands of LV instead.
I think maybe Snape will play a part in Malfoy "getting away with it".
Perhaps Draco will realise what hes got himself into and come to the good side. Its a bit far fetched i know, but what to you think??
I agree that Draco will be redeemed. _________________ "For too long we have been taught to praise the wrong heroes, thieves planting flags and murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams." ~ Peter S. Beagle
that in the end Draco will betray Voldermort along with Snape and Wormtail. We saw a different side of Draco in this book( moaning myrtle anyone? and i think that even though he has hated Harry and everyone around him he will realize that a world with Voldie isnt the way to go.
or...
Spoiler:
If this scenario doesnt happen well poor Draco may end up in Azkaban or even dead. Not a pretty scenario but i doubt JK will do this.
Glad you all think so too, Draco is a coward at heart, he hasnt got the guts to be a death eater.
As Hermione said the moaning myrtle part of HBP showed that Draco was scared of the task he had been given.
If Draco comes over to the good side i wonder what Lucius' reaction will be..
I wonder that too!~ He'll go crazy! Maybe after Voldie has been defeated, and he can join Draco in the good side? Doubt it but you never know... _________________
I just hope Dranco and Snape die, I think that is even better than what they really deserve... Both are sons of a b*tch... may be Snape not that much, I want to know why he does what he did... _________________ Sonita
Not Snape. Ive come to believe Snape is good and not in Voldermort's side. He was just following DD orders and he will betray Voldie in the end:) He cant die:( _________________
I have to agree with Willow, now that I read that... still, I hope Draco dies slowly and painfullt, I really don't like him, little selfish brat... _________________ Sonita
When DD was talking to Draco in the end Draco said he had no choice! Draco was to do this to either save his dads life or die triing! Not to mention his own life..... Lucious made Voldie really mad..... Draco bumbled it like his dad so Voldie will more than likely kill him..... But he did get Death eaters into Hogwarts..... Who knows????
I read somewhere an interesting theory that Draco was a werewolf.
Let me see if i can post it here...

Draco Really Does Deserve Your Pity, Myrtle
The great thing about being a moderator in a Barnes and Noble University.com Discussion Room about Harry Potter is that it is inevitable that you will be compelled by the several hundred serious readers in the room to consider at least one idea every day about the books that you would never have thought of in a kazillion years. Some are these ideas, of course, are just mistakes or the products of staying up to late reading the books for the seventeenth time (“Hey, Snape is a Vampire!”). A good number of the ideas will just knock you off your feet, though.
One such turn-your-thinking-upside-down post came from Mary Ailes, whose idea was supported immediately by Laura Lavrov (who had been working on parallel tracks simultaneously). Their theory is that the secret Moaning Myrtle won’t tell Ron and Harry about Draco isn’t his secret mission to kill Dumbledore or that he is a closet Death Eater. The secret she cannot tell them is that Draco is a werewolf.
Now, before you run from Myrtle’s bathroom hooting, run this scene through your mind’s eye again. We’re on the Astronomy Tower under the invisibility cloak and immobilized with Harry. Fenrir Greyback appears and the nasty man-wolf is picking Bill Weasley’s flesh out of his teeth. Dumbledore is disgusted that Greyback is eating human meat out of his season, tells him so, and adds, tellingly:
“And, yes, I am a little shocked that Draco here invited you, of all people, into the school where his friends live….”
“I didn’t,” breathed Malfoy. He was not looking at Fenrir; he did not seem to want to even glance at him. “I didn’t know he was going to come -“ (Half-Blood Prince, chapter 27, Scholastic p. 594)
Step back for a moment (watch the Tower edge…). Draco Malfoy has been working all year to kill Dumbledore with a certain disregard for the lives of anyone and everyone who might get in the way of his “Hail, Mary” shots at the greatest wizard living. Dumbledore knows this and does not confront Draco only because he fears Draco’s Occlumency is not good enough to shield himself from Lord Voldemort’s penetration.
Knowing that Malfoy is acting with bizarre disregard for the lives of his friends in the erratic attempts on Dumbledore’s life, why is the Headmaster “shocked” that Draco invited a werewolf into Hogwarts? I think the reasonable answer is the “Draco Wolfboy” theory, that Dumbledore knows Draco is a werewolf and that Fenrir Greyback bit him on the arm on the Dark Lord’s orders to punish his parents. Dumbledore had to make the arrangements with the Potions master to make the Wolfsbane Potion Draco would need to get through the year (a thought that Draco or Horace perhaps does not guard at the Christmas Party, which explains the look of fear on Severus the Legilimens’ face there).
The evidence put forth by Mary Ailes and Laura Lavrov is compelling. You have multiple descriptions of Draco in Lupinesque condition, pale, haggard, sunken eyes (apparently this Wolfsbane Potion must be a little like chemotherapy…). He is constantly disappearing and in ill health. There is also the encounter in Diagon Alley in the robes shop and the overheard conversation in Borgin and Burke’s. Harry, of course, assumes the arm wound is the fresh tattoo of a Death Eater. Hermione is very skeptical throughout the book about Draco as Death Eater. When in doubt, whom do you trust? Hermione or Harry?
I, of course, trust the Granger over a Potter every time. It’s a werewolf bite - and it scares Mr. Borgin, especially when Draco says Greyback is “a family friend. He’ll be dropping in to see you from time to time to make sure you’re giving the problem your full attention” (Half-Blood Prince, chapter 6, p.125).
Mr. Borgin probably knows, as Lupin tells us, that Greyback is, “perhaps, the most savage werewolf alive today” who “regards it as his mission in life to bite and contaminate as many people as possible” and that “at the full moon, he positions himself close to victims, ensuring that he is near enough to strike. He plans it all. And this is the man Voldemort is using to marshal the werewolves” (Half-Blood Prince, chapter 16, Scholastic, pp. 334-335). Looking at Draco’s bite probably has at least the effect of seeing the Dark Mark tattoo Harry imagines is on Draco’s arm.
But what is the meaning of Draco’s being made a werewolf? What does it contribute to the story? It is, after all, not even mentioned in the Half-Blood Prince story-line. “Draco Wolf-boy” simultaneously reveals the consequences of evil and makes the evil-doer more an object of pity than hatred or judgment.
The Malfoys are horrible people, to cut to the quick, who are Pure-Blood Nazis and Death Eaters of the worst kind. They despise both Muggles and the “Mudblood” wizards born from this breeding stock, they treat their house-elves cruelly, and they conspire for the return and triumph of the Dark Lord in the hope that they will share in his power. Unfortunately, for them, Lucius failed the Dark Lord, who visited the failings of the father on the son to torture the whole family. Draco is sent onto a suicide mission and made into a werewolf besides to show to the Death Eaters in the inner circle how severe the consequences of failure really are.
When I first wrote about Draco four years ago, I said his name reminded me of Eustace Scrubb, a dreadful, spoiled boy from a “modern family” (vegetarians!) in C. S. Lewis’ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Eustace runs away from a work party and finds a cave. Long story short, he becomes a dragon (draco in Latin) as ugly on the outside as he had been monstrous only in soul and from lack of character before (Voyage, chapters 6 & 7).
This change, curiously enough, makes Eustace a much better person (“It was, however, clear to everyone that Eustace’s character had been rather improved by becoming a dragon”). He is stripped of his dragon outerwear by Aslan a few days later and baptized on a mountaintop.
I thought Draco’s name was a tip of the hat to Lewis’ dreadful boy who is transformed and redeemed. We had a hint of the redemption on the Astronomy Tower and an echo of the Dragon conversion experience; Dumbledore’s talk to him about “dying” so that no one can “kill you” is a fairly transparent story version of dying to be born again “where moth and rust doth not corrupt” nor Death Eaters break in to murder). The theory of “Draco Wolf-Boy” provides the transformation that breaks his pride, makes him at once more pitiable and pliable, and an opening for Harry to see his own prejudice and transcend it. How can he hate a boy in Malfoy’s position?
“Draco Wolf-Boy” is revelation of Draco’s bestial nature and the sins of his father for Draco and the world to see. If it humbles Draco (as it seems to have done) and if it creates an opening for Harry to forgive, even to accept his Slytherin enemy as a fellow victim of Lord Voldemort’s evil, the much hoped-for Gryffindor-Slytherin bridge and Hogwarts house unity could be achieved. Here’s hoping the werewolf Fleur fights isn’t “Draco Wolf-Boy”!
Interesting werewolf theory! This is gettin' curiouser and curiouser. Draco is quite the coward. Like most bullies, he is nothing without his friends.
Remember how he ran in the Forest in SS? The books are full of incidences when he has acted the coward. Like with Buckbeak etc. He is one of those people who want to be associated with powerful people but, have no leadership themselves. _________________ You're just jealous cause the voices only talk to me!
It could be a possibility, it does make sense and would be a good twist. But I cant help thinking if Draco is a werewolf, when has he been transforming?
We dont see him dissapearing for every full moon, but then maybe he wasnt in the room of requirement every time Harry thought he was, maybe he was somewhere else transforming??
Maybe Fenrir was sent to punish Lucius by biting Draco (he does have a reputation of biting peoples kids to get revenge), but maybe he bit him while he was in human form, like Bill Weasley and thats why he hasnt had more obvious symptoms
I dont know, im confused too
I agree. That twist the whole werewolf thing will be to big to explain in just one book left. I think it is highly unlikely plus we dont have any canon clues, just speculation.
We are totally in the dark. I wish I would just know what JK is up to. _________________
I can't help but feel sorry for Draco. Don't hate me I mean, I think he's jealous of Harry(duh)and he just wants a chance to prove himself. Being that he lives with a Death Eater for a father and mother who sticks her nose up at anyone who passes her, he doesn't have a choice but to be mean, does he? Especially when it comes to Voldemort. I actually got kinda soft for him when I read about him in the bathroom in the book. For once, I actually wanted to hug him. I think it really sucks that Gryffindors and Slytherins are enemies. =\ _________________
And on the eighth day, God made Ewan McGregor.

I agree. I think that JK will redeem Draco in the last book. He is just a product of hate & evil. If he had loving parents I would definetly feel less pity but he is constantly trying to prove something (and fails miserably).
Draco tries to be "all evil and hateful" but he is like a lost puppy. *Cute Puppies!*
And his affair with Moaning Myrtle didnt help much either.... _________________
