Kneazle:
That is a good point. Draco is frozen. 

But I think Draco is more likely the Regulus Black of his generation. 
I see nothing in the books to indicate that he is anything other than 
a petulant, spoiled, whiny, cowardly, bigoted, vicious, nasty little 
boy.

I don't think he has it in him even to make a good deatheater.
