I'm about to slightly disagree with my sweetie here, but I know he can handle 
it.  :-)

Yes, Draco *does* talk openly of murder, death and hatred, but I think he's far 
more all talk than serious.  He may well become a murderer, but he is far 
from one now.  That's why I think he didn't understand the possible 
ramifications of the prank he tried (and so miserably failed) to play on Harry.  
Draco shows no understanding of others' suffering.  Hey, if I was a DE, I 
wouldn't want him in *my* inner circle.

Remember, we've seen far more cowardice on Draco's part than any real 
active cruelty.  He hurls words at his classmates and then runs and hids 
behind his father's robes.  What a punk.

Maybe now that his father is in Azkaban he'll open his eyes.
