  Katie replies(after lurking in this thread for a while):
  I have to disagree that Draco's means for killing Dumbledore is solely getting the Vanishing Cabinet working. Yes, that was the easiest and most obvious way to sneak forbidden items into Hogwarts, but he did it all year without it. The Vanishing Cabinet wasn't the means of getting the locket or the poisoned wine into the school. Draco figured out a way around the cabinet, since it was still broken. Obviously, his intention(however half-assed it may have been) was to kill Dumbledore by these means, which did not include using the still-broken cabinet. I don't believe the raid on the school was planned in the way that it happened, maybe it wasn't planned at all...but only became a last resort when Draco could not succeed through any other means.  So, I disagree that the Vanishing Cabinet played this all-important role in Draco's plans, because, as much as he wanted it to work, it was broken the majority of the school year, and only able to be used at the last moment, when
 all else had failed.
