After Alchemy's defeated, Malfoy's going to take the philosopher's stone (or sorcerer's stone in the US) and become a hero named Mr Element. That way the show can reverse their pattern of having a friend revealed as the enemy and this time can have an enemy turn into a friend. Completely different and will fool everyone (as long as they don't kill him off at the end of the episode).
Seriously, it'll be a big twist and completely negate their multi-season formulaic plot layout schedule. No one will see it coming when Season 4 returns to the tried and true (and Mr Element turns into a villain).

I like the show and all, but I'm getting seriously bored with it. If the above turns out to be true I'll probably stop watching in a fit of depression.
