Oh, Ivy - I bow to your supreme ability to bring out and say so clearly what I am struggling to put my finger on.
I think that this is *so*, so possible. Despite what JKR says. I love her dearly, but I really am hoping that Draco won't turn out to be one of those characters that never strays from the mold they were cast in. The only worry I have is that this song *will* be about Harry hooking up with Slytherins - but that Draco won't be involved, that he will remain an example of a child of the "Dark Side". Why? Because I think it would be truly tragic to lose this opportunity that is available to do *so* much with a character.
But we won't know until the next book, or perhaps the last page of the last book - so until then I'll cling to essays like this one. :D
