Well, Harry, at that time the only one with wand in his hand, admitted
that he wanted to curse Draco. Even if it had been public knowledge
that Harry had lost is godfather (which I assume it was not), cursing
a fellow student still would not have been somthing a teacher could
allow.  

I'm not sure Draco knew Sirius was dead. He was just (understandably)
angry that his father was in prison, and Harry had caused it.
