Ah well, I sometimes think Xander is the worst Buffyverse character ever because he's the one who doesn't really believe in redemption.
Really? I disagree. It would be a pretty boring story if all characters had the same opinion about everything - and besides, he seems to be all on board with the idea that Willow and (at least initially) Faith can be redeemed; it's just that he doesn't like vampires.
The whole universe seems structured sometimes around the idea that everyone is redeemable, why not Dracula?
Because a) in order to be redeemable, you have to WANT to be redeemed. Dracula, so far, has shown nothing like that. And b) because he's DRACULA. He's the vampirest of all vampires. Redeem him and you'll all-too-easily nix the entire idea of vampires being evil in any sense.
