I thought that Dumbledore isn't completely sure that Lucius Malfoy is 
really a DE.  Did I remember that wrong or something?

Anyway, sometimes it is more trouble than it is worth to expel a student 
like Draco.  It might be better to keep him under your long, pointy nose 
where you can keep an eye on him.  Besides, just because Lucius is a 
DE doesn't mean that Draco will become a DE.  I don't know if Draco will 
stay bad or not, but I think it would be weird for Dumbledore to just 
expel him like that if Draco has not done anything that would justify 
being expelled.
