"Without Draco, Harry would have died in Malfoy Manor, we all would have. Without him it would have lost the war. Whether it be directly or not, Draco’s actions and courage in the Manor is the reason we managed to escape and why we ultimately won. I agree his crimes shouldn’t go without punishment but if he is sent to Azkaban you will be damning him forever, he will come out as nothing and it will be a waste. He will amount to nothing, he deserves a chance to become something better.’
