Quick Silver:
Probably because if Harry was expelled then Draco would have be too. 
Snape and Dumbledore spent a year trying to save Draco and if he got 
expelled for starting a duel and attempting to use an Unforgivable 
Curse they wouldn't be there for him, would they? Besides there is 
probably a lot of procedure to expell a student...which could uncover 
a lot about Snape (since it is his book) and Draco (who is actually at 
fault for the duel).
