montims:
I'm not convinced that he doesn't.  Unfortunately, JKR dropped his storyline
in a very frustrating way.  We have no idea what happens from when he goes
off with Snape to the end, except for a few cameos which we see in a skewed
way (pre Harry's Snape and DD revelations).  We know that Snape
couldn't tell Draco what side he was really on, while fleeing from DD's
murder, as that would have been revealed to LV, but whether Snape has the
chance to speak with Draco (of whom he was fond, and who had seen and
experienced some horrendous things) at Hogwarts, we don't know.  Certainly,
in the RoR, he sounds very like Snape, with his cries of "don't kill him"
...  Draco may have still believed that Snape was bad, and have been acting
off his own bat, or he may at this time have been allowed a glimpse into how
Snape was trying to look out for everybody - the Malfoys, the Trio, etc...
This is a sidestory I would be interested to read...
