he'll have to put his mind to it for about three years, if we are to
go by Black's description of the difficulties he and the gang had.
somehow, i don't picture Draco as having that much stamina. if his
father gave him some evil shapechanger potion, on the other hand...

there's also another meaning that springs to mind - draconian, or
draconic, which can mean 'cruel' or 'severe'. it was named after a
lawgiver in Athens by the name of... hmm... Draco. i would expect
Draco's parents to have these characteristics in mind rather than some
untamed beast, which we all know Draco's father hates.

or it could be to contrast his father's: Lucius / Darco... teehee...
