I'm mostly numb to JKR more questionable interview / pottermore / whatever HP cannon "explanations".
And I understand that she might have done this one just to show how much attention she pays to fandom. What with tweeting answers to fans and following HP tag on Thumblr.
But this still annoyed me.
Even if you are tying to be funny and don't really like the character you've written: this still shows a incredible disdain and lack of understanding of Draco and people who like him or find him sympathetic.

And the last book's "name" is just horrible. And deeply insensitive.

Not to mention that, if Draco did realize he'd been a jerk, that would still make him morally superior to almost all of the "good guys." The Hs, Scummywhore, MWPP, Lily, and most of the Weasleys are jerks, too, but they never realize it. They go on narcissistically justifying their bad behavior to their dying days.

Ooh, Scummy's POV. Now you've got me imagining that... :D

Couldn't all 7 books be Albus Dumbledore and the Reckless Endangerment of Students' Lives for the Greater Good^TM because who cares about those redshirts anyway?

I was thinking, Albus Dumbledore and the Brilliant Masterplan (from his POV, of course!). Although the last one would probably have to be Albus Dumbledore and the Brilliant Masterplan from Beyond the Grave.

Oh yes, that would definitely work! You could even embellish it for each book:

Albus Dumbledore and the Brilliant Master Plan Where a Magic Mirror and a Kid Do My Job For Me
Albus Dumbledore and the Brilliant Master Plan Where a Hat, a Bird, and a Kid Do My Job For Me
Albus Dumbledore and the Brilliant Master Plan Where a Magic Doohickey, a Hippogryff, and Two Kids Do My Job For Me
