The fact is that Dumbledore had enough faith in his own abilities that he didn't consider Malfoy a true threat. He had no way of knowing that he would return to the school under the influence of a dreadful potion which would weaken him considerably.
It wasn't fear of Dumbledore that stopped Draco from killing him; rather, it was Dumbledore's love for Draco. Draco, raised in the severely prejudiced and self-serving Malfoy family had never stood face to face with self-sacrificial love before.
yes. while limited Dumbledore was able to use consciously wandless magic and draco isn't as powerful as he believes to be.
However, Draco was ordered by Voldemort to kill Dumbledore. Lestrange saw this as an opportunity to test Snape's loyalty and while making this vow to always watch over Draco, Lestrange forced Snape to agree to killing Dumbledore himself in case the youngster was unable to do so.
“And that meant he conquered him, even though Dumbledore was very weak at the time, he was very ill. He was on the point of collapse when it happened,” Rowling said. “Dumbledore didn't want to lose his wand at that point and Draco disarmed him.
Lucius Malfoy had a strong dislike of Albus Dumbledore. This is due to two reasons – Dumbledore believed in Muggle rights which contradicted Malfoy's pure blood beliefs. In addition, Lucius was a Death Eater, so he believed that Lord Voldemort was a much more powerful wizard than Dumbledore.
Draco's refusal to reveal Harry's identity to Bellatrix was not because he liked him. It was because he believed that Harry was the only chance they had at defeating Voldemort. At first, Draco admired and revered Voldemort until he threatened his family's safety.
Voldemort, seeking to punish Lucius Malfoy still further for the botched capture of Harry, demanded that Draco perform a task so difficult that he would almost certainly fail – and pay with his life. Draco was to murder Albus Dumbledore – how, Voldemort did not trouble to say.
Stealing the cloak would have been evidence against him. The cloak is highly unusual, Dumbledore and Snape know it belongs to Harry. If and when Harry was found, he could have accused Draco and proven the charges easily. Draco would get detention if not suspension.
Specifically, Draco was jealous of Harry. It was easy to miss because Draco didn't often show his emotions, modelling himself on his cold, confident, calculating father, but J.K. Rowling has confirmed that a lot of his enmity towards Harry stemmed from envy.
Harry wasn't punished because Draco had nearly killed two other kids, Katie Bell and Ronald Weasley, in his quest to destroy Professor Dumbledore.
Originally Answered: Why did Dumbledore plead with Snape? Dumbledore knew Snape didn't want to kill him and was afraid that Snape would still refuse to do so, and would then be killed by his Unbreakable Vow.
It turns out that instead of rejoining the Death Eaters, Draco was supposed to help Harry at the very last second by throwing him his wand to help him defeat Lord Voldemort.
At different points, Dumbledore possessed all three Deathly Hallows. He won the Elder Wand from Grindelwald, had the Invisibility Cloak in his possession when James Potter died, and wore the Resurrection Stone as it sat in Marvolo Gaunt's ring.
Harry eventually comes to possess all three Hallows – the cloak being inherited from his father James Potter, later understood to be a descendant of one of the Peverell brothers, the Resurrection Stone in the Golden Snitch bequeathed to him by Dumbledore, and the allegiance and mastery of the Elder Wand when he defeats ...
Voldemort hugged Draco as an improvisation and it wasn't planned. Even Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) was caught unaware which increased the effect. In Harry Potter style, it was like a welcome for Draco, but as Voldemort had never known love, he didn't know how to hug him very well. Thats why they had the awkward hug.
The Malfoys are able to avoid serving time in Azkaban, as they provide evidence that helps the Ministry track down the Death Eaters who had fled after the war. It is also probable that, since Narcissa's lie to Voldemort saved Harry's life, the family is pardoned for their crimes.
Isaacs brings up Lucius' disheveled appearance in Deathly Hallows, raising the possibility that the Malfoy patriarch had begun drinking too much. The way Isaacs saw it, Lucius was in a no-win situation. Given everything he'd done, the man no longer had a place on either side of the war.
Draco Malfoy's mother Narcissa was cold, cunning and devoted to the Dark Lord. But she was also a mother, which meant she was willing to risk everything to make sure her son was safe. When Harry survived Voldemort's Killing Curse for the second time, Narcissa pretended he was dead so she could get to Draco.
It's pretty clear from the books that Draco recognizes Harry/Hermione/Ron. But fortunately, he's too afraid of the consequences so he pretends he doesn't recognize them.
When Voldemort asked her to check if Harry was dead and she realised he was, in fact, still breathing, Narcissa seized her opportunity. Harry revealed that Draco was still very much alive, and she lied to her master in order to get closer to him.
In some cases (the Malfoy family) blood traitors are a bad as Mudbloods. As other people said, it is also due to the Malfoys' arrogance, the feeling of self-importance and wealth. The Weasly family is also very poor, which may also lead to a dislike with the rich, pureblood families.
As a result, he manipulated his emotions by taking over the Malfoy mansion and threatening to kill his family while belittling Lucius. In the end, the man of wealth and status was left with neither. Ultimately, his need to survive and protect his family would lead Lucius to betray Voldemort.
Given the evidence, it is obvious that Snape and the Malfoys retain a close relationship that goes beyond their common link to the Death Eaters. Even though it is not specifically stated how they became friends years ago, it is evident that they still maintain this friendship.
Draco Malfoy
She often got angry when he offended one of her friends, particlarly Harry and Ron. He coldy called her a "Filthy mudblood", which led some backlash from Hermione's friends. They also never refer to each other by their first names.
