Draco's fear of Voldemort

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but does anyone else 
feel Draco is NOT cut out to be a Death Eater? Forget about all the 
years of hatred and torture he's brought unto non-Slytherins over 
the years, and think about it for a minute. 

If he truly had a desire to be a Death Eater and serve Voldemort, he 
wouldn't have wasted a minute in trying to kill Dumbledore. Not only 
that, but during his conversation with Dumbledore (on page 591 US 
edition), Dumbledore says Voldemort, and "Draco winces at the sound 
of the name." Also crying his eyes out in the girls' bathroom. And 
more than once in the book mentioning how he had to do it, or LV 
would kill him. And he was so close to giving into DD's words, and 
I'm sure would have if the other Death Eaters hadn't shown up. Would 
a true DE behave this way?

I think from the beginning, up until HBP, he wanted to be on the 
dark side. He grew up hearing it glorified and believing there was 
no other option than being LV's slave. Then, once he got a taste of 
it first-hand, he was terrified. 

I'm not saying he'll become Harry's third best friend, or anywhere 
near it. But, either he's not strong enough to handle the pressure 
of being on the dark side, and will eventually become another Peter 
Pettigrew. Or, his conscience will catch up with him and force him 
to do something right, no matter how great his fear is.

Not to mention, Dumbledore saw something in him. Even if DD has been 
fooled by Snape, there's no way Malfoy could take him in. For one 
thing, he's not that smart, and for a nother he's not as experienced 
as Snape.
