It's very easy to hate Draco but I really think he is a good kid
raised in a bad situation. He was raised by dark wizards, he is from
a family that has been continually know for it's dark deeds. He is
an only child who has "great things" to live up to. He is obviously
very loved by his mother but his father is a different story. He is
not from a family like the Weasley's who love each other whether or
not they accomplish anything. I think he is from a family where
L.Malfoy gives love only when accomplishment is achieved. IMO Draco
accepted his task from the LV only because he knew that he would be
honored and loved by his father when the task was accomplished. I
think he didn't really consider the consequences to others, he only
saw how proud his father would be. I think Draco starts to realize
that his failure is not only going to cause him to lose his father's
love but that his failure puts his entire family at risk. We see him
as he truely is when he is on the tower with DD, a child. Draco
knows right from wrong but is afraid to do anything because he has
put himself in the position where he has only 2 choices left. One
choice is an unforgiveable curse, he will cause the death of one of
the most powerful wizards ever and will have done nothing but evil.
The other choice is to take the chance that DD can protect the ones
he loves from the most evil person he has ever known. I am sure that
Draco has heard every story told about LV, about how he tortures
those who betray him and eventually kills them. Draco is frozen he
can choose to do evil and have it marked on his soul forever or he
can choose to hide and have his entire family marked for death. No
wonder Narcissa had Snape take the Unbreakable Vow, she knew her
son. IMO She knows Draco has too "good" a heart and that even if he
got DD to be vulnerable enough to hit with AK he wouldn't be able to
do it.
