No question in my mind....Draco will kill Snape... We know he's ready 
to kill but cannot follow through.

My guess is he hears about the unbreakable vow made between Snape and 
his mother. (Bellatrix will bring this out into the open to cast a 
shadow over snape among the DE's--probably that Draco would have done 
it if Snape had not buttedin.)  Snape will taunt Draco about what a 
coward he is--just as he's taunted Harry and Neville over the 
years...and it will play out that Draco is no Longbottom/Potter...

Draco has alot more inside info about Snape than we (the readers 
know), and DD, and the DE's....who knows what Snape may have said to 
the slytherin quidditch team and to his house over the years.

Draco wants the protection of his father....not Snape...Draco loves 
feeling loved (all the treats and goodies from his parents over the 
years...their refusal to send him to Durmstrang etc.).

Draco is a not-so-nice piece of work...but I place him at least a 
rung above Dudley. (not saying much I know) Draco is still treated 
better by his parents than Duddley however. Not due to 
gifts/presents/money...but the fact that they expect something more 
of him..

If we as readers wonder why Snape took so long to notify the order 
what Harry had done...then Draco must also be wondering why Snape 
didn't run to help his father...Despite Cissy's plea for help...it is 
strange that Draco would never ask the help of his favorite teacher. 
Bella taught him Occlumency yet Draco still refrains from telling 
Snape anything.

Doddie:

(Who thinks that if Lupin will kill anyone (or Tonks for that matter) 
it will be Greyback...perhaps with a little help from Fleur!
