<b>SPOILER SPACE</B> - Sorry I don't know how to do Invisio-text
<B>CRITICAL SPOILERS BELOW!!!</B>
I agree that Malfoy's role will be crucial in the next book. I think that his redemption will figure heavily in the plot, and that had he actually killed Dumbledore, any hope of this would have been lost.
So I suspect that, having not killed Dumbledore, Draco Skywalker will be forced to show his commitment to the dark side at some point by either saving Harry's life or not.
I like the theory that Harry himself contains the last Horcrux. Something to do with that scar perhaps?
This begs the question of how he will destroy it without killing himself. Who's to say that he can? There would be a fine symetry to Harry sacrificing himself in the name of love, just like his parents did before. DD said many times that love is his most powerful magic and there are plenty of characters whom he could throw himself down for. Ron and Hermiony? Ginny? Perhaps having to forgive Snape (who's definately innocent imho) or Draco will play a part here.
Furthermore, I can't quite imagine what Harry will "do" after the series is over should he live. Ministry job? Nope. Teacher? Too young. Open his own business in Hogsmeade? Perhaps it's better to off 'him
