"In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Draco Malfoy openly displays his Dark Mark to Albus Dumbledore. In the novel, it is not verified that Draco received the Mark, though it was highly speculated by Harry Potter that it was what Draco showed Borgin as a form of intimidation." This is cannon according to Harry Potter wiki. According to the canon only the inner circle of Voldemort gets the mark, and they are all powerful. "The werewolf might be allowed to wear Death Eater robes when they wanted to use him, but only Voldemort's inner circle were branded with the Dark Mark: Greyback had not been granted this highest honour." —Harry Potter on Fenrir Greyback's lack of a Dark Mark Although Voldemort gives Draco mission to punish Lucius, it is unlikely anyone could get him to put his mark to someone for who he thinks that he is not worthy. I like to think Draco got the Mark because it proves that he is a powerful wizard.
