Eddie:
I see Voldemort's "request" like this: "Draco, your father failed me
twice and now sits useless at Azkaban.  Your aunt failed me at the
MoM.  You mother is weak and weepy and she fails me now when she
pleads for your and her lives.  Will you fail me too?  Are you a man?
 Are you worthy of taking your father's place as a Death Eater?  Prove
it.  This is your initiation: On your own, without help, find a way
for me Death Eaters to enter Hogwarts and... you must kill Dumbledore.
 Fail these initiation tasks and I can only assume that your father's
and mother's blood line is hopelessly flawed and must be destroyed:
your father, your mother, your aunt, and you."

Like many murderous gangs, a killing is a necessary initiation ritual.
