Magpie:
Isn't it Narcissa who says Draco can identify them in the first place? 
I got the impression she didn't have any way to give him nonverbal 
instructions before she brought the three in and told them Draco would 
know who they were. My recollection was that both Narcissa and Lucius 
were looking forward to Draco being able to save them by identifying 
Harry and so giving them the go ahead to tell LV and get back in his 
good graces and Draco was the only person who was reluctant at all.
