a_svirn:
Yet your assertion is somewhat at variance with the fact that Draco 
sent a bottle of poisoned firewhiskey to Slughorn. Which could have 
been fatal to any number of people (presumably Dumbledore does not 
drink whiskey alone), and nearly resulted in three deaths. One of 
those was only very narrowly averted. Not to mention the necklace 
plan, which was less likely to succeed, yet no less murderous in its 
intent.
