Draco in Order seems to reflect the 'other' kids, those who are apart from the DAs. But that just goes back to his brand of 'insanity', which appears to be not thinking of consequences.
True--although to me the opposite seems to be true in that frankly, the kids in the Order seem pretty scary. Maybe it's just that I've never been a joiner, but a secret club surrounding a fearless leader where the kids are training to fight "the enemy" and use Death Eater magic to call you to meetings and disfigure traitors? Are we sure Tom Riddle didn't have one of those when he was at Hogwarts? Perhaps his generation's Marietta is buried under the stairs somewhere?
Yeah, I think one of my reasons for needing to be talked out of this idea is that Draco often seems the only sane person in the school to me--stupid, but sane and normal. So I don't trust JKR to make the opposite point with him.
But Draco as the unfortunate truth teller and chaotic element is close enough to the line of madness for me.
Me too. I think it's like I said to adela--I need to throw out the worst possible scenarios either to be assured she couldn't do that (trusting her as little as I do when it comes to this character), or so that whatever bad ending he does get will seem not-so-bad in comparison!
