Harry/Snape vs. Harry/Draco in OotP--not slash!

This isn't about slash, just the relationships in general. I'm seeing a lot of how this book was all about H/S (slash-wise and not) but seriously, I think that's secondary. I mean, it's primary in the plot but I tend to see a big H/S reconcilliation having limited use in solving problems here. JKR may totally disagree with me, of course.
