Did we miss the mark? (COS spoilers)

Saw the film.  Loved the film.  Had some nitpicks, but they were 
(mostly) minor.  Think the entire cast was wonderful, the special 
effects were better, and the energy was up a notch from the first.  
Just have one theory I'd like to submit to the assembly.

Okay, about a week ago someone mentioned the part at the end, after 
Harry frees Dobby, where Lucius starts to cast "Avada Kedavra" (or 
something which sounds a LOT like it) before Dobby knocks him down, 
and questioned whether this was really in Lucius' character.  I 
personally thought Lucius might actually be mad enough to try to kill 
Harry, but I highly doubted he'd try to do it within 100 yards of 
Dumbledore (this is *Lucius* we're talking about, man has a 
reputation to uphold).  I said as much to another HP fan, who 
suggested this alternative: Dobby was mistaken in thinking Lucius was 
attacking Harry--he was, in fact, trying to kill *Dobby* instead.

Think about it.  It fits the moment, and it fits Malfoy.  He probably 
wouldn't go to Azkaban for offing his former house elf (Unforgivables 
are only such when used on *humans,* remember)--indeed, a lot of 
wizards probably wouldn't bat an eye at the act (sad, but true).  And 
Lucius might have been trying for a "that's what happened to your 
parents, and that's what I can do to you if I wanted" effect on Harry.

Anyone else besides me think this makes a lot more sense?
