But we know from CoS, chapter 12 that Draco doesn't know what's going on. He tells Crabbe and Goyle that he has no idea who's behind it and that Lucius won't tell him about the last time the Chamber was opened. 

I suppose it's possible that he was lying to crabbe and goyle, perhaps because they're reporting what he says and does back to Lucius and he doesn't want Lucius to know, say, that he's been eavesdropping and thus Knows Things He Shouldn't. 

But if he's telling them the truth, then he doesn't know enough to have told Dobby to go to Harry. 


Of course, if he's lying to them, then perhaps his whole persona is an act and he's been helping Harry secretly and without Harry even being aware of it, as best he knows how.
