Don't forget about the Dark Mark above the castle...only the DEs 
know how the incantation for the Dark Mark, DD could have frozen 
Harry to protect him from any DEs who were there.  Even if he 
thought Draco was the only DE at the castle...the sight of Harry (or 
an exchange of jinxes with him) would make Draco feel more 
reckless.  DD was trying to protect both boys.

Do you think Draco is completely horrified by what happened?  This 
will be the first time he's seen death (he couldn't see thestrals) 
and a violent death at that.  Maybe it will shock him back to the 
good side?
