Sideshow Bob: "really, what *is* attempted murder?"

Dumbledore truly is disconnected from reality if attempting to kill 
someone just isn't all that bad and doesn't deserve a permanent 
punishment.

But the difference is that Harry says he wants to keep wormtail alive 
to make sure Sirius gets his name cleared. OTOH we have Dumbledore 
shielding snape for more than a decade despite Snape having commited 
crimes that would have gottem him life in Azkaban, basically getting 
away with accessory to murder in the very least and probably worst 
crimes. Based on that I think there is every indication that Draco 
isn't going to face hard time if he goes away with DD.

I would like an offical government sanction of his actions (prison) 
and a civil suite on behalf of Bill, Ron, and katie to strip the 
Malfoys of as much wealth as possible. I want Draco stripped of just 
about everything that lets him believe he is better than everybody 
else.
