Inge:
You're not the only one who thought  Draco's task was to kill Harry. For 
a while during my reading, I thought  so, too.
Well into the book I changed my mind and thought his taks was  instead 
to kill Slughorn to prevent Slughorn from giving Dumbledore  information 
about the Horcrux-thing, since Voldemort wouldn't want for  Dumbledore 
to know about that. (But Dumbledore had known for years  already, hadn't 
he?)
It didn't occur to me that Dumbledore was the  actual target until the 
Lightning Struck Tower  scene.


Cassie: 
 
Actually, that never crossed my mind (That Draco was ordered to kill  Harry). 
 I started getting suspicions when Ron was poisoned by that mead  meant for 
Dumbledore.  I figured someone was trying to off Dumbledore and  put two and 
two together.  My suspicions weren't confirmed until "The  Lightning Struck 
Tower" though.
