Oh, no! I wasn't being sarcastic! That'd be MY wishful thinking...H/D is my OTP. *shameless* It'll never happen, but it'd have been nice if it had.
Hey! Draco's only sixteen- kids that age don't usually know the difference between schoolyard rivalry and war. And it's not like he had constant near-brushes with death to make him grow up, like the trio had - he's a spoiled-rotten rich little mama's boy, and I think the only truly horrible thing that ever happened to him is his father's imprisonment. And speaking of, with a father like Lucius Malfoy I don't think anyone could avoid being prejudiced. Parents have a near-limitless influence on their childrens' world views and opinions. Plus, can you imagine child!Draco going up against his father's doctrines? That man is SCARY. Now that Draco's removed from his influence, he has a chance to grow into his own person rather than Lucius II. *waves 'Go Draco' banner*
Of course it works, plotline-wise. But most of the readers are children, and I think that'd ruin the whole book for them.
