The main reason why Draco wasn't among the other DE's is because he 
can't Apperate. Also he doesn't have the Dark Mark on his arm yet so 
that Voldemort can call him. If you recall Snape told Fudge that when 
Voldy touches the Dark Mark the DE' were to Apperate to him 
immediately. 
 
Draco is still an underage wizard. It's my understanding that you 
can't take the Apperation exam until after you graduate. Also you can 
not Apperate to or from Hogwarts or the grounds.  I think a special 
exception was made for the Triwazard Cup Portkey, but it was supposed 
to bring the winner directly to the front of the maze. IMO.

We don't really know if he's a true believer or not.  We do know that 
Crookshanks didn't attack him during PoA, so he can't be all bad now 
can he.  Only time will tell if Draco turns out to be good or bad.
