Betsy Hp:
So, focusing in on this tiny little part of your post (I seem to be 
doing that a lot... <g>) rather than Draco being in on Lucius's 
confidences I suspect that he's what my grandmother would have 
called a little pitcher with big ears.

Because Draco has always known a bit more than he should.  It's 
never the full story.  (Or at least, if it *is* the full story, he 
doesn't share it.) But Draco generally seems to have a piece of a 
puzzle at his fingertips.

Personally, I think he's made quite a habit of secretly listening in 
on his father's conversations.  I suspect that this will be 
important in book 7.  Draco will have information to bring to the 
table.  Information that no one (especially Voldemort) realizes he 
could possible have.

Just a thought.
