Just "other." I would not presume that I've heard it all.

'Is the glass half empty or half full?' Lol..as long as there is water in the glass, it quenches the thirst. He was still standing over a helpless Dumbledore..he hadn't turned back..or even asked for assistance...
In context, it's obvious that everyone there believed that Draco had failed. They expected him "to die in the attempt," and were proved to be correct.
Voldemort will not be impressed by your subtle argument. Even if Draco protests that he only needed more time, everyone else will say that he failed. Even Harry --With Voldemort's connection, he could probably add Harry's opinion if he wanted.

A half-empty glass would not quench this kind of thirst. And the longer he waited, the weaker his resolve became. It was a glass with a hole in the bottom.

On that, we agree. The "murder" was a fraud.
