is  reasonable to assume that he thought that Harry was terrified 
of mere  sight of them . After all, we don't know  how well he 
studied  Dementors.<

Pippin:
He didn't have to study them. He encountered them on the train 
and he was so terrified he nearly wet himself, according to Fred 
and George. If what you say is true, Draco should have thought 
the sight of him would scare everybody in the stadium including 
his own side into fits. I don't think so.

He was trying to distract Harry, I'll grant you that. But if you
think that could have been fatal, what about "Weasley is our 
king"? Nobody seems to have thought that was particularly 
dangerous. It just distracted Ron and made him let the Quaffle 
in.
