[quick snip, more of a trim...]

1. DL tells Lucius to kill Draco (in some twisted
Abraham/Isaac tones) and Harry saves Draco somehow:
begrudgingly, by happenstance, or other.

however?  I believe so.   With Crouch!Moody and with
Tom Riddle, we have seen this idea of
killing-your-father being an important
'rite-of-passage' for the truly evil.  Perhaps Voldy
will convince Lucius that someday, Draco might kill
HIM so he'd better kill Draco first.

balls to do that.  And it's a totally different
situation -- Crouch Jr and Riddle killed fathers who
they despised because they represented everything they
stood 
 against.  Draco idolizes his father in an unhealthy
 way to the point of sycophancy.
 [followed by some additional plausible scenarios,
which I rather ruthlessly snipped]

akh:

This part of your response harkens back to a (somewhat
unfocused) post I made earlier, speculating on the
statement Crouch/Moody makes in Goblet of Fire,
equating the killing of his father to LV killing his
in order to "ensur[e] the rise of the Dark Order."    

If Patricide is part of the ancient ritual of
membership/advancement in the Dark Order, Draco is in
for a nasty surprise, if he chooses DE-hood.  This
could lead to the scenario you describe above (Lucius
had better off Draco before it's his turn to die),
Draco "failing the test" because he can't bring
himself to kill his father, or some other
attitude-altering catastrophe.  

Hmm, this might explain the rather noticeable lack of
grandparents in HP...

akh, who want to wish Happy Birthday to all posters
who shares Dobby's big day today!
