The problem with your little joke, @Halpo133, is that it's actually plausible. Since I assume Harry is aware of Animagi due to the purchasable trait as well as eating both the Harry Potter books and the Lockhart books, we'll be busting out the Homomorphous Charm, petrifying Peter, and then getting the next level in Paladin.
And hell, it might go a long way to reforming Draco if he does register as evil. A magic spell that objectively says "you're evil" saying he is so might shake his worldview. Then again, it might not work on him - he doesn't have murder in him, so he might not really be evil enough to register as such.
For these two... Draco will at this point register as evil. Just as Pettigrew will. They're both neutral evil. Pettigrew because he's a creepy parent betraying rat animagus who is ultimately selfish and willing to do anything for his own survival. Draco due to his upbringing.
It's the old question about if a Paladin should kill the kobold children when they're found. On the one hand, kobolds are evil(though I'm sure the kidbolds are adorable). On the other, they're kids. Really the proper answer depends on a number of factors. How old are they, have they committed any irredeemable acts, etc.
Draco, like the kobold children, is simply evil due to his upbringing and way of thinking. It's less that he's irredeemably evil and more that he's starting down that road.
This reminds me of an amusing little fic Oh God, Not Again. Wherein a time-traveler!Harry claims he has a psychic scar.
