Naturally, most Draco fans have theories about what will happen to our favorite snarky blond. I want to know yours. Take this poll, and feel free to elaborate in comments :)

I said no to the first 3 (and 'i wish' for the last of course!) but I'd like to explain what I mean. I don't think Draco will play a large role, switch sides, or die b/c I'm not sure we'll see him at all. He technically failed his Voldie mission, so he won't be keen to hang around the Dark Lord anymore, but he has no reason to seek solace from the light side b/c of completion of said mission anyway... so long in short... he's gonna flee, probably with his mum. Which is fine w/ me b/c it means he's still alive and there's plenty of room for "they meet again" fic post book 7! Or all of this could just be wishful thinking...

I think JK has spent way too much time building Draco up as a character (esp in book 6) to have him disappear in the last book. I think he clearly is going to play a role, and I really believe he is going to turn to the good. I think this for a few reasons: one is the bathroom scene in book 6 (where Harry found him crying and then hexed him). Why bother to humanize him like that if he is just going to be ignored later? And she made a point to mention that Harry felt sorry for Draco, both in that scene and in the scene where Dumbledore dies. JK is very skilled at foreshadowing, and I think this scene was very important. And Draco is now fleeing with Snape, who (despite all appearances to the contrary now) I still think is good. Snape will be an influence on Draco, especially now that Draco realizes just what service to the Dark Lord is all about.
Maybe I'm nuts, but I don't think Draco is going to die either. I think he could, but I don't think he will. I feel certain that none of the Trio will die (I think fans would just rebel against that, and JK probably knows it). But I agree with the above reviewer that it would be a poor lesson indeed, if Draco were to turn to the Light just to be killed off. As if mistakes can never be forgiven.
As for the last question, the real answer is,of course, no, but I can dream, can't I?

I think we'll see quite a bit from Draco in book 7 and that he'll switch sides. And I hope he won't die - if one has to, I guess it'll be Snape, if he's on Voldemort's side or not.
