Draco was disappointing, insofar as I really wanted there to be something more dramatic/decisive... but in the end book 6 is the anomaly. I still thought he was cute, though, and had his moment when he said he wasn't sure he recognized Harry & Ron and Hermione (where I was happily surprised), and where he kept trying to trip up and follow Harry around to the bitter end. :D Aww, pointing his wand between Crabbe and Goyle and trying for some bravado. Even though it's not a logical follow-up to HBP characterization-wise, I didn't really expect one anymore than we had a fully logical follow-up to OoTP except in spots. Though I also think there's no way Dumbly would let a student commit murder-- it just seems obvious; Snape can do it 'cause Snape is his ex-DE errand boy, always expiating and never fulfilling his end of the bargain. Snape is there for the dirty jobs; a student is under Dumbles' protection, I guess, so far as that goes. I really do think it's about him being just a boy... even Harry worries about him in book 7! Draco's just sort of a maiden to be rescued :)) ahahahlfskjas
