well, DD had the ring on his finger when he went to pick up harry in 
the summer, the ring was off his finger at hogwarts and then it was 
gone.  Seems like DD had a problem destroying the ring - maybe he 
didn't know how to.

the more I read that chapter, the more I think that Snape is getting 
information from Narcissa.  They never speak of what Draco has to do-I 
know, that would be giving away too much - and it is worded carefully.
