Ah, that's certainly a difficult line to argue against! I suppose Draco might be conceding to reveal that his task is glorious, or maybe he's been told "Snape knows what your task is" by Narcissa and so is comfortable speaking of at least this much around him, not realizing Snape is fishing.
I too feel that it's darned complicated if Snape did not know, though.
