Magpie:

I think there's also good reason to think Draco's under orders not 
to tell.  This mission is so secret Bellatrix when Snape says he's 
heard about it.  I can imagine Voldemort making it very clear that 
Draco isn't to go telling anyone about it--he doesn't want him to 
have allies.  Whatever the reason for it, not knowing is much better 
for all of Draco's friends, the closest of which have always been 
very loyal and helpful to him in the past.  Crabbe and Goyle are 
helping, though they don't know the plan, and Crabbe seems to have 
gotten concerned about it enough to argue about Draco's not telling 
them.  

Myrtle may know nothing more than someone is forcing him to do 
something and will kill him if he's not successful, which he doesn't 
think he will be.  Myrtle actually isn't a good confidante--if she 
were she wouldn't start talking to Harry to begin with, I'd guess.
