Well, i think it was just a right guess. It's not hard to think of it -
 Malfoys do their businnes by bribing other people, it's common 
knowledge that they have a lot of many and they use them in that 
particular way.

I think Harry just made an accurate guess. What's more interesting IMO 
is the fact that throughout the whole HBP Harry is right in his 
suspicions about Draco and Snape. He guesses right about Draco's 
involvment with DEs, his Mission, him being in Room of Requirement, 
the attack on Hogwarts etc. He's right. Which is unexpected because 
before that Harry's suspicions were always wrong.

I begin to wonder is it only because JKR needed it for a plot or there 
is something more to it...
I don't know how you guys but I was shocked when it turned out Harry 
was right!!!
