FIRST TO POST!! YEAH!!

Whoa. That is an interesting topic. It would definetly be wierd. Do you guys think that he would still be mean??? Or would it be Harry who was mean, considering how his dad acted at Hogwarts. Also would it have been Draco who met Ron and Hermione. Then would Hermione fall in love with Ron?? Or Draco?? *Draco and Hermione shippers, watch out! lol!!*

It is an interesting topic to discuss!!

Ohhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! It's up!

I love topics like this where I can just talk and talk and talk and talk...... hehehe.

Okay, so.... If the prophecy had been about Draco rather than Harry there are quite a few things to consider. First, Voldemort was already in power when that Prophecy was made. Thus, his parents would be in the service of Voldemort and the prophecy would be completely different.

Draco was born 5th of June and his parents served Voldemort-- so those two aspects of the prophecy would change. Perhaps Snape would realise it was Draco and not tell Voldemort-- or perhaps he would and Voldemort would order Lucius to kill his own son-- or maybe Voldemort would take Draco from them and raise him to be an evil little prat. I mean, he was mean in school, but he wasn't evil.

Then there is Dumbledore's role. What would Dumbledore do? Would he approach the Malfoys? Would he offer to keep their son safe? Would they be willing to join the Order if they thought their son's life was at stake?

Would Voldemort have actually been able to kill Draco? Would Narcissa Malfoy try to die protecting her son?

Would Dumbledore take Draco away from them and raise Draco as his own?

I doubt highly that Harry would turn into a mean little boy without the prophecy. His dad was cruel to Snape, yes, but overall, he probably was just a bit pompous until he grew up.

Oh, and then there is the fact that Snape loved Lily and without her death he never joins Dumbledore!

And what would the world be like? Would Draco carry the scar and the weight of the world? Or would he be dead? Or would he know of his role, but live in a darker world as Dumbledore's ward? Would he be friends with Harry? Would he hate muggles and muggle-borns? I highly doubt that he and Hermione would ever, ever, EVER happen. She and Ron are definitely made for each other, hands down. Another question-- would Hermione even able to attend Hogwarts? What if the world was to dangerous for Muggle-borns?


Soooo many questions! ACK!

hehehe. I'll come back later to discuss this some more.

Well, he wouldn't have been a Death Eater for one thing. He would have been just like Harry, basically. So I'm glad he's not.

And if Harry and Draco were just switched, we'd be drooling over Harry instead!

Well, I wouldn't say that by having the prophecy be in regards to Draco that it would automatically mean Harry isn't Harry and Drao isn't still Draco.

He would still be Draco at his core, and Harry would still be Harry at his core. He would probably want to be in Gryffindor because he would know about the Houses of course.

Draco would probably live with Andromeda and Teddy Tonks and grow up with Tonks around. It would certainly be different for him, that's just assuming that his parents die. We can safely assume that they would not want their son to be killed and thus protection is needed. But would there be someone to inform Voldemort of where the Malfoys were hiding?

I mean, Dumbledore would place them under the Fidelus Charm, but who would be the Secret Keeper? And would that Secret Keeper turn out to be a spy for Voldemort?

I agree that Draco would live with the Tonks'. But I'm not sure who would be the secret Keeper...

Tonks might even try to get Draco into the Order of the Pheonix ? =)

Although, I think his living with Tonks all depends on whether is parents live or die.

I think it's possible that his parents don't trust anyone but Dumbledore. I mean, everyone they know in a friendly way probably is a Death Eater or supporter of Voldemort, and Dumbledore being one of the only people Voldemort ever feared and the leader of the anit-Voldemort movement, I think it's safe to say that so with that in mind, it is unlikely and by that I mean pretty much impossible, that the Malfoy's whereabouts would be betrayed to Voldemort.

So his parents live.

They probably would then turn against Voldemort and become Order members themselves.

The Order of the Phoenix as we know restricts membership for underage witches and wizards, so unless the war doesn't end before he's of age then I could see him becoming a member. It also depends on how heavy the war is.
