dreamofwriting:
If what was said in book 5...that with the unforgivable curses
you have to mean it for them to work, i.e.: you must truly want
to kill to use the killing curse, torture and cause pain to use
the cruciatus curse, so why was Draco not able to kill Dumbledore?
Because he still had some respect for him at some level?

It probably wouldn't have worked for him if he didn't mean it
(which brings to mind that Snape really must have meant it! That
is another discussion). IMO Draco really has been pushed so much
by his father and other friends and family that he really has not
been able to be the real Draco. I'm not saying he is not a little
sh** and needs to be taught a thing or two...but I am saying that
he is not a killer...just as Dumbledore could see in him, he
showed he could love, his parents lives were on the line, he loved
them and had to try to please Voldemort so he would spare their
lives (which Voldemort wouldn't do anyway probably) so...Dumbledore
felt Draco could be saved...so what happens next? Only J.K. Rowling
knows for sure, but if you link to this music video I think it
shows a hint of what I think might happen...Draco and Harry...what
is left for them.
