Ron DID give Malfoy a beating in SS/PS during the Quidditch Match. Ron 
and Malfoy got into fisticuffs, then Neville jumped in and took on 
Crabbe AND Goyle.


Draco's racism may or may not remain with him for the rest of his 
life. There's a possibility that he might truly change his anti-Muggle 
and Muggle-born feelings one day. And there's a possibility that he 
may never change and continue to loathe Muggles and Muggle-borns 
forever, only the remaining books will tell. 

Dumbledore rightly stated that it's the choices we make. So far, Draco 
hasn't made any choices that indicate he's on the road to accepting 
Muggles and Muggle-borns. In fact, his racism appears to grow more 
intense with each book (red herring or red flag?)

With the return of Voldemort and the seemingly reactivation of the 
Death Eaters, it will be interesting to see how Draco evolves. Will he 
become the chairman of the Death Eaters Recruitment Bureau, Hogwarts 
Branch? Or will he reject the Death Eaters? 

I think the more ponder-ful question is 'has Draco shown, 
canonnically,  that he has the strength of character to break from the 
Death Eaters and Voldemort?' Or is he the stereotypic bully who is 
really spineless without the support of his friends and will go along 
with Voldemort because he doesn't have the courage to break free?
