Alla:

So, if they are not just having a chat, why is Draco points a wand 
to DD?  I believe that this means that he came to Tower ready to do 
just that and this is the reason why he pointed the wand and then 
when he is that close plus Dumbledore speech makes him lower the 
wand.

Alla:

Yes, that is the closest he gets to the killing, because IMO he 
cannot do it close by and because of Dumbledore giving him a chance. 
But he **does** make that step, that makes me disagreeing with him 
arriving at the Tower not ready to kill DD.

Alla:

Yes, all interpretations are not equal, but that is the thing, I 
believe that I am intepreting what **is** written on the page ( e.g. 
pointing his wand and then lowering his wand symbolises that moment 
for me).


JMO,
