Say what you want about Draco, but he knew it was Harry in the Manor. Even if he only knew that through recognising Ron and Hermione. It would have been so easy for him to throw Harry to Voldemort, but he didn’t. Of course, that doesn’t excuse all of Draco’s horrible behaviour, but I refuse to believe he was entirely evil or that he didn’t grow up and lead a good life.

Sometimes I don’t think Hermione is appreciated enough for the amount of courage it must have taken to obliviate her parents. I think it is a large part of the reason why she stayed with Harry instead of leaving with Ron. It isn’t the whole reason, but she must have been thinking that there would have been no point doing what she did if she was just going to give up and leave.
