If the cabinet was competely of Draco's own volition, I think that 
makes Draco worse actually.  What did he think was going to happen, 
the death eaters were going to use sunshine and rose petals on the 
students?  He moves from a reluctant assassin, to one that has gone 
out of his way to go above and beyond his basic mission.  For me that 
takes a lot of the sting out of the poor, blackmailed Draco that you 
believe in.  If he were so bothered by his actions he would be trying 
so darn hard. he'd just be going through the motions instead.
