Draco is not a killer, but he is definitely evil. He used the Imperius
curce on Roberta, and had no problems at all with killing indirectly.
Katy could have died from the necklace, Ron from the mead. It is only
when he has to look his victim in the face, that 'poor Draco' cannot
follow through. He is an evil little git that has much changing to do
will he ever be acceptible.

But Snape is the only one who was actually a Death Eater. If he is
evil, it is an easy conclusion that it's once a Death Eater, allways a
Death Eater. Once evil, always evil. The others were on the side of
good in the first place.
