Why is it of so great interest? So what if Draco didn't learn 
any "lethal skills"? One doesn't have to possess any fancy skills to 
commit a murder. Dilettantes do it every day, as papers quick to 
inform us.

a_svirn:
Are you sure that "benign" and "assassination" belong to the same 
sentence? And what do you mean by it, anyway? If you mean `quick and 
clean' then it's Snape who comes out as a "benign assassin", not 
Draco.

Could you elaborate on that one, please? It sounds kind of cryptic.

a_svirn:

These murder attempts were inefficient insofar Dumbledore was 
concerned. Which is why Voldemort remained unimpressed. However, 
Draco nearly did in his two schoolmates. They survived only by an 
accident.
