I don’t think Harry would buy that. If Dumbledore wanted Draco dead, he’d be dead. He’s headmaster of the school for frack’s sake. And he certainly has no reason to frame Granger. His only motive for harming Malfoy would be to make Lucius throw everything away on getting Harry, after all. So unless our hero is about to confess that he is guilty, I think Dumbledore is probably innocent.
