Tragic Hero.  Like Othello, he learns the truth about his actions, then dies. 
 But I doubt he'd kill himself like Othello did.

I could see something like that.  It would be true to his character and his 
interactions with his father.  On that note: grat post, Chthonia!  I'm right 
on with you in this interpretation of Lucius' and Draco's upbringings ^_^v

that she has it all straightened out.
