The difference of course would be that Draco may think that Harry 
has a reason to kill him ( no matter how irrational this thought 
seems to me), but Draco shows Harry that he attacks him with 
Unforgiveable and Harry does not attack him first.
I mean, is the desire to absolve Draco so great that you honestly 
and truly equal these two?

I don't see that at all. IMO of course.

computer to write this post.

I am only half-joking. :)
