Rachel here:
Blonde is a recessive trait and IIRC (alas, I'm without my books!) Snape's 
parents (or at least mother) has dark hair.  Unless Snape is harboring some 
deep deep blonde genes I find Lucius a much more likely candidate.  Not to 
mention there are many references to Draco's face being "pointy", much like 
Lucius'.  No, I think it's fair to say that Draco is the brat of Lucius and 
Narcissa.

>Malfoy and a Slytherinwhat if there were other reasons?

Rachel again:
I think this is because Draco is in constant contact with his family.  Snape 
would know that if Voldemort ever did reappear that Lucius would immediately 
be at his side.  If Snape had in any way hinted that he wasn't Voldemort's 
man, Voldie would have known very quickly.  There are/were many DEs that 
would have killed for the chance to take down Snape (Bellatrix, anyone?).  
If Snape is DDM!Snape then this is probably just to cover his own skin.
