Mandy here:
I can think of one person Lucius could kill that would alienate Draco;
and that his mother, Narcissa.  I don't have any canon to support
this, but as we are looking for reason for the emergence of a good
Slytherin it's a good strong one.  Why Lucius would kill her?    I
don't know.  But with Lucius in Azkaban, Narcissa in a tremendously
powerful position, and if it does turns out she is working to
undermine her husband, or LV, or perhaps keep her son out if the Death
Eaters, LV could demand her death. And if Lucius Malfoy is desperate
enough, he may just do it.  After all he has his Malfoy Son and Heir.
 It very cruel, but not a stretch for our Mr. Malfoy.  I suppose this
action will depend on the extent of the  relationship between Lucius
and Narcissa, which we know little about right now.

I was also thinking about how LV is now in the position where most of
his old inner circle of DE are in Azkaban. The Dark Lord needs a new,
young, fresh, loyal and impressionable army.  Umbridge has done him a
huge favor in that regard, and brought together an eager ready-made
unit, loyal in their hatred of DD and DD's Army.  Lines and loyalties
drawn at 15/16 years old are hard to break.   I think we will see
recruitment into the ranks of the New Death Eaters out of the 6th and
7th years in the next book and Draco will be one of them if only for a
short while.

Cheers Mandy
