Sorry to cut so much out of the previous posts.

Of course, I can't prove my opinion or even back it up with canon, but
my take on Draco is that, so far, he simply parrots what his father
says and does. But the will come a day of reconing when Draco will
have to think for himself, then I think he will see things in a
different light.

Up until now, Draco has lead a protected and priviledged life. He's
never had to deal with the harsh realities the way Harry and the
Weasley family have. My own belief is that the first time Draco sees
what it truly means to be a Death Eater; Kowtowing to Voldemort,
groveling on the floor, kissing V's robe, I don't think it will look
that appealing. I think right now, Draco has this image of his father
being very powerful, a man who bows to no one, and I think that's who
Draco sees himself. Draco is lord, in his own mind; Draco is not
lorded over. So when he discovers that being a Death Eater means
kissing V's (sorry) butt, his attitude will change.

The next great revelation will be when he discovers what murder, and
torture really mean. When he hears his victum scream and see real
death for the first time, he will suddenly realize that being a Death
Eater is not party, party, party.

Just my opinion.
