 What a Ponderful question :0)!  I don't believe Draco has displayed 
 the slightest inclination to resist the Dark Wizards.  Not only is 
 the return of Voldemort a cause for celebration, in his mind, he 
 clearly expects his family to benefit from Voldemort's return.  One 
 would have to conclude that he KNEW his father had something to do 
 with the second opening of the Chamber.  He clearly knew that his 
 father was out torturing the muggles at the Quidditch world 
 championships in GoF.  AND he is proud of the fact.
 
 Draco is the embodiment of the "Hitler Youth" charaterization, and he 
 is no one-dimensional foil either.  He, like his father, has some 
 craft, is relentless in his hate, and ever vigilant in defense of his 
 false superiority.  He wants Voldemort to win, because that's the 
 direction he has accepted for his own future. >>

Exactly.  Draco has not the smallest amount of remorse for his actions, even 
after four years of being with others who are not "pure bloods" he retains 
the exact same feelings towards them.  He has not grown at all.  Even when he 
saw first hand the effects of the return of Voldemort (Cedric, a complete 
innocent, dead) he was still exultant at the return of Voldemort and his 
"eventual victory."
