While that is certainly true, Malfoy has a very poor opinion of 
Harry. I would imagine that he sneeringly thinks that the mere sight 
of the Dementors would be enough to make Harry go to pieces. 
Remember, Harry has good reason to be affected more than others, but 
Malfoy doesn't know that (nor care). As far as he's concerned, Potter 
is a weakling.

So while his ploy was doomed to failure, his intentions were 
certainly repulsive.
