I really can't stand trolls who come into an obviously slahs h/d thread and piss and moan all over it. I think that they only do that because they're repressed, confused, and ashamed...I think they secretly like it.
Ha...that was my favourite part of the book
"Harry, however, had never been less interested in Quidditch; he was rapidly becoming obsessed with Draco Malfoy."
But H/D shippers are having a field day with HBP. I reckon Ms. Rowling's just playing around with them...
"Harry... watched Pansy stroke the sleek blond hair off Malfoy's forehead, smirking as she did so, as though anyone would have loved to have been in her place."
"He couldn't move a muscle; he could only gaze up at Malfoy, who smiled broadly."
"'You didn't hear anything I care about, Potter. But while I've got you here...'"
"Harry stared at Malfoy. It was not the sucking-up that intrigued him; he had watched Malfoy do that to Snape for a long time. It was the fact that Malfoy did, after all, look a little ill. This was the first time he had seen Malfoy up close for ages..."
"Blood spurted from Malfoy's face and chest as though he had been slashed with an invisible sword. He staggered backward and collapsed onto the waterlogged floor with a great splash, his wand falling from his limp right hand.
'No -' gasped Harry.
Slipping and staggering, Harry got to his feet and plunged toward Malfoy, whose face was now shining scarlet, his white hands scrabbling at his blood-soaked chest.
'No - I didn't-'"

By the constant use of the phrase "pairing" in this thread, do you all mean homosexually? Because that just sounds odd, seeing as the enmity between them is too high....
If anything, I'd consider Draco being heterosexual cum Hermione: I mean, think about it! His enmity towards her is largely based on the brainwashing of his parents to hate muggles and muggle-borns, but it is also probably out of a jealous affection for her which he cannot understand....of course, I assume this could also be applied to Harry and Draco....or Ron and Draco....and, well, anybody and Draco....
Still, if anything, I think the glimpse of humanity we see in Draco in HBP is a clue that he will switch sides in the seventh book, and perhaps help Harry defeat Voldemort....
