Doddie here:

The one aspect of Malfoy in each of the books is that he has very 
loose lips, always tells everyone he is "in the know"...and to some 
degree or another he typically does know information that the other 
students do not. (even though it may not be ALL the information)Also 
there is the vicious gossip/slander about Harry and Hagrid, not to 
mention his incessant bragging.

As for Draco's future...I would not be at all surprised if he was 
killed by LV or one of the DE's for "leaking" important secrets to 
someone on the "other side".

JKR has already shown us via Bertha Jorkins and Rita Skeeter to the 
fate of those gossiping and spreading rumors.

The fact that Lucious is in Azkaban may lead Draco down the death-
eater path sooner rather than later. (Do you think Draco knows any 
secrets about Snape?)
