Actually, it wasn't "by accident". It was very much "by design". 
Certainly Katie and Ron weren't Draco's primarily targets, yet he knew
his plans could prove fatal to any number of innocent bystanders. Knew
it and went for it nonetheless. It's no different from a terrorist
attack. For instance, in Brighton hotel bombing Thatcher survived, but
five people died. I don't think you can call their death "accidental".
Same thing here.  Just because Draco's murder attempts  weren't
particularly discriminative it doesn't make them less premeditated.
