"You're my friend, but I can't let you know that I killed your father, because you might tell that to someone else and that would be unpleasant for me."
Tell you what, I've made peace with this chapter. It shows Harry as a flawed protagonist, and in a more interesting way than Eliezer's usual "I was flawed because I was not smart enough".
"If there's even a small chance that letting you know will reduce my ability, down the line, to save the world, then I am physically incapable of letting you know."
If the Vow prevented him from letting Draco know on a permanent basis for this reason, it would prevent him from telling him with the intention of obliviating him afterwards, since there would be a chance he would get away without being obliviated.
Good point. He's counting on Minerva to obliviate Draco, which makes it a bit safer.
