I've often thought that perhaps Hermione and Draco will end up together. It's far fetched I know... but I did find it rather amusing when Draco is taking points away from the trio in OotP, and he says to Hermione, "Oh yeah, I forgot, you're a Mudblood, Granger, so ten for that...." He forgot, did he?
I think that Draco needs someone like Hermione. Personally, I believe that Draco acts the way he does because of how his father treats him. Draco is obviously afraid of his father, or else he wouldn't spend so much time trying to be exactly like him. Most teenagers are slightly rebellious, but Draco has definitely been scared into a state of submission by his father, so much so that he does as much as he can to make sure he appears exactly the way his father wants him to.
In the books, Draco teases Hermione mercilessly, but at the Yule Ball, you'll remember that he couldn't even think of anything bad to say about her.
Also in GoF, Draco warns the trio to keep Hermione away from the Death Eaters at the World Cup... Of course he said it in a mocking way, but who knows, really... He did seem to be making a bigger deal out of it than you'd normally think he would.
Also in the books, it's always Hermione who feels sorry for Draco. That could be a little hint... When Draco was attacked by Buckbeak, Hermione was the one to get the gate open for Hagrid, and she was the one who was wondering if Draco would be alright. She was also the one who said it was a good thing that McGonagall stopped Moody from torturing Draco as a ferret... She always tries to stop Ron and Harry from attacking Draco, even when he says mean things to her.
If Draco were to ever defy his father, and was maybe forced to work with Harry and friends for some reason, I can see Hermione getting along with Draco much better than Harry and Ron would... In which case, it could possibly lead to a relationship between them.
Draco really needs someone like Hermione, because she's a very caring person and Draco's personality obviously comes from being neglected emotionally. Sure, Draco gets pretty much whatever he wants, but that's because his father wants him to be perfect, and since he can't be perfect by himself, Lucius buys him things, hoping that he won't be disappointed by his son, whom he already bullies around. Draco's mother, Narcissa, is probably a bit more caring than Lucius, but I don't see her as a very loving mother... I think she just sort of babies Draco instead, seeing him how she wants to see him and not really paying any attention to how he ever feels.
I think it's interesting when Hermione slapped Draco in PoA, that JKR mentions it again in GoF. I haven't been able to figure out why, but if JKR repeats something, it's for a reason, isn't it? "The last time Harry had seen Hermione in a rage like this, she had hit Draco Malfoy around the face." (pg. 451, 452 - GoF american v.) While many of us enjoyed that scene in PoA, it seems suspicious to me that JKR would write it again, as if she didn't want us to forget...
I really don't think Hermione likes Ron. I know Ron likes Hermione... but I'm not so sure she likes him back. Only time will tell of course... but Ron/Hermione is not a favorite relationship of mine...
That's all for now~ I have more but I'll write it later. I have work in the morning.
