I have to disagree with this theory. I refer you to the story of Wendelin the 
Weird, who enjoyed being burned at the stake so much that she allowed herself 
to be caught no less than 47 times in various disguises ^-^ 

According to Harry's essay on pointless witch burnings, a wizard could do a 
simple Flame freezing charm and pretend to shriek while enjoying a pleasant 
tickling sensation. If any of the Malfoy's were burned at the stake, it 
wouldn't effect them.
