a_svirn:
If Draco's behaviour under the circumstances can be interpreted as
bravery, I am really interested to know how his cowardice would look
like. It's not like his failure to kill Dumbledore was a conscious
choice on his part. I agree that he was under a lot of pressure, but
if anything he emerged out of his ordeal as a true Slyth - ambitious
and very-very canning.

Magpie:

I think his whole story, imo, contains twisted versions of values associated 
with Gryffindor.  He's trying to be a man, avenge his father, protect his 
family, win glory, trying to do an assigned task on his own.  He grows up a 
lot.  Dumbledore lets him so that in the end he is able to get to a place 
where he can make a choice: you have me in your power, you're the one with 
the wand, you got further than anyone thought you would--what are you going 
to do?

I assume his cowardice would look like the way it looks on Peter Pettigrew: 
surrounded by Death Eaters and threats on his life and his family's life if 
he doesn't do Voldemort's wishes, he would kill Dumbledore.
