I doubt that JKR's going to go the insanity route with Draco - she surely should've shown more convincing character development with him by now if that was her intention. Instead, as one poster quite rightly said, he's been the same all through the series so far, hardly growing as a character. I really hope that JKR takes him out of his stereotypical bully role, but I don't see it somehow. It just remains to be seen what she does do with him to punish him for his 'bad' behaviour, which as far as I can see comes from an over-indulged, spoiled lifestyle and tainted Malfoy blood. It'd be nice for JKR to maybe show some sympathy for that, but again, it would require character development.

I'd totally agree with the above comment by roxannelinton; she says everything I feel.

Don't get me wrong, I do love the books, but I do get frustrated with her characterisation sometimes. But then, of course, they're not really written for jaded old ladies like me :-) Guess I'm just a bit crabby tonight.
