Anyway, there's this amazing G/PG drawing of Victoir and Teddy all grown up by someone, I forget who. Not a huge fan of the pairing since Victoir is basiclaly given to Teddy for the same reason Ginny's given to Harry, but the art's beautiful, and Teddy looks so much like his dad *sigh*.

And (a rarity!) there's a really nice PG drawing of the so-

Yep, I think a lot of the disappointment over Draco came because JKR took him from the insecure impotent peer rival he had been for 5 books and then pushed up to this cliff where he was balancing on the edge of competency. And since HBP ends on what seems like a cliffhanger (Stay Tuned for the Horcrux Hunt! Same Bat-time, same Bat channel) - the fans just expected her to push him over the edge, make him more hardcore so to speak. Either make him a bad guy or a good one.

Exactly. I think fans had a right to expect some action out of him because that's what made the most sense. I think gobackcheif has a good point about Draco's passive development, but the whole point of book 6 is that he finally went from this passive outsider in the whole Big Fight and became an active participant. On level with Harry in a lot of ways since he was deliberately targeted by Voldemort, had to plot his way out of it, and actually saw Voldemort. She has set Draco up as the shadow, only for some reason, she felt as though Harry had to conquer the shadow and defeat it that way rather than accept it and understand his own dark side for what it is. But if he did that, he wouldn't be above everyone else, would he?
