Why not have Draco rescue Harry in the RoR rather than the other way round? Or did she just want him to be a screaming cissy to the very end.
It's like Quidditch. Harry can never lose as long as he's playing. So very quickly the games get boring. The only way they can lose is if Harry's unconscious so he somehow winds up unconscious more than once. (In the TWT, too, he can't ever lose an event.)
How amazing that Harry winds up saving the lives of both the bullies of his childhood. I mean...come on! He already had this with Dudley in the beginning of the book, so why do it again? I think, frankly, it would make more sense to have Harry on the *receiving* end of it the second time. It's not like Draco would have to become a big hero, but it would be completely within his character to try to drag Harry out of the burning room too. But instead he's just saved by Harry so he can be checked off as another person Harry's won without ever having to feel the slightest connection to him at all. The last time Harry felt any actual personal connection to Draco, I mean where the two of them are together and have any emotional communication going on whatsoever, is pretty much Sectumsempra. After that Harry feels nothing for him except a few moments of distant pity--heavy on the distant, because Draco isn't there. I find it really chilling.
