> I'm not sure how this really disagrees with what I said. Whether one things he had a chance or not to declare for the other side, he winds up, imo, clearly against Voldemort but not actually doing anything for the other side,

Bart:
    I suspect you are forgetting that, when Harry was in the hands of 
the Death Eaters barely disguised, and Draco has the opportunity to say, 
"You idiots! You have Harry Potter right in your hands!", instead he 
pretends not to recognize him (albeit in a way that provides plausible 
deniability should Harry's identity be found out).
