now me:
Draco has shown some impressive leadership skills, and seems to be a 
self-starter of sorts, which is precisely why his break from Lucius 
is inevitable.  Which leader would be happy to take orders from 
someone else?  Taking orders is something for a Death Eater to do.  
Yeah, its possible Draco could even become a Death Eater during his 
time in Hogwarts, but I see him finding it very confining after some 
time.  You can only be an evil-overlord's lackey for so long.
