Okay, just briefly  from someone who certainly has no sympathy for 
Draco and who used to hate little shmack just as much as I hate 
Snape, but who does not anymore. ( does not hate him I mean, I 
certainly do not like him either)

YES, to all that you said - Draco dear happily signed up for 
assasinating Headmaster of his school, without knowing at first that 
Voldemort is going to blackmail him, so as far as I am concerned he 
had a murderous intent in all its glory.

Not to mention him being a racist (IMO) and doing all that annoying 
staff during five books, etc.

BUT I guess I just hope that the lessons of HBP sink in to him, 
maybe? That murder is **not** a good thing, I suppose I first and 
foremost hope that Dumbledore did not die in vain, that he managed to 
make Draco think or something.

Oh, and of course I want to see redemption story, even though I do 
doubt that it would move me much at the moment.

JMO,
