The Hogwarts students tend to do their shopping every year at around the 
same time.  Malfoy had a good chance of encountering the Weasleys in Diagon 
Alley, especially if he knew that there was a celebrity/new Hogwarts teacher 
signing books that day -- and he was at that time on the Board of Governors, 
so he undoubtedly knew who the new DADA teacher was.
