Hmmm - is it Harry or is it me being slow here?
Wasn't Draco's mission to kill Dumbledore? And wouldn't Harry have 
figured that out by now?
That thought of Harry's seemed a bit slow to me - but then again - I 
could very well be the slow part here.... but in that case, what WAS 
Voldemort making Draco do under the threat of killing him and his 
parents?

Hi everyone! I am new around here, the name is Shannon. I am hoping it is ok, to jump right in on a question.
I think that Harry, got that Draco was meant to kill Dumbledore. I think he might have been feeling a bit sorry for Draco. Draco is in deep trouble, by not killing Dumbledore. That was his assignment, actually I believe it was to punish Lucius. Either way, he was told to do something by Voldermort and failed at doing so. This places himself, his Mother and Father into deeper jeopardy. Voldermort is not happy with the Malfoy clan at all.
Have a great day!
