And still, no one gets it. Killing Dumbledore was irrelevant to Narcissa's cause and the Vow.

Interesting point. I hadn't thought of that or heard it before.
But no, I would still say that Draco failed. It was obvious to everyone there, including Draco.
page 591, Dumbledore --"My dear boy, let us have no more pretense about that. If you were going to kill me, you would have done it when you first disarmed me, and you would not have stopped for this peasant chat about ways and means." Malfoy -- "But I got this far, didn't I? They thought I'd die in the attempt, but I'm here... You're at my mercy..." "No, Draco," said Dumbledore quietly. "It is my mercy, and not yours, that matters now." Draco did not speak. His mouth was open, his wand hand still trembling. Harry thought he saw it drop by a fraction --
