Tonks:
There are many ways that this could play out. 
 
1. LV could be so happy about DD's death the he just forgets about 
Draco and starts planning for the big move on Harry.  

2. Draco is still in big trouble and Snape took him to his mother 
and Narcissa and Draco go into hiding somewhere that only Snape 
knows about.  The problem with this is that there are 4 other DE 
that know that Draco was last seen with Snape, so this probably 
would not work.

3. LV is not happy with Draco, but Snape somehow talks him out of 
any retaliation, by dismissing Draco as a inexperienced child.  Then 
LV may not punish Draco, but will expect him to kill someone next 
year when he is officially a man.

4. This is far out, but LV sent Narcissa to Snape to test Snape. 
Bella did not know about it, she thought Narcissa was acting on her 
own. Draco was never in any harm from LV, LV wanted to see if Snape 
would actually kill DD and thus prove his loyality to LV. 

I tend to think that number 1 or 3 are the most likely.

There are probably other options, but I can't think of them right 
now.
