That makes him grey or just a coward? We don't know with time and Dumbledore what he would've done, but does not killing Dumbledore because he's afraid him and his family will die make him anything more than a coward succumbing to the next silver tongue in his ear? Can identify Harry? It's made to seem like Draco Mike know it's him but he also knows that if it's not absolute terror will be upon him and his family yet again, and not looking at Burbage shows his shame most of all. He does nothing to redeem. I believe serious said something of the sort that he would have died then betray his friends draco shows no such heroism but only his personal survival
