Well, one can note that Draco's mother never showed up at the DE meeting
and may NOT be a DE in any way shape or form. It was HER that kept Draco
from going to Dumstrang.  Maybe there's more to his mother then meets
the eye and maybe her looking like she smelled something bad had to do
with her disgust of her own husband?  We don't know what their married
life is like and she never spoke for herself at the Quiddich World Cup. 
She might have married Lucius for his money or he might have married her
for her 'family' for power reasons.. For all we know, they might hate
each other and Draco's mother is making sure her son has a chance to NOT
be like his father by insisting he go to Hoggswart.  You think maybe
there might have been something between Mrs Malfoy and Snape in the
past, back in school?  Not to say that Lucius isn't really Draco's
father, but that she might have known Snape in school and trusts him
teaching her son over the teachers at Dumstrang?
