Lucius Malfoy

Here is a question that I've been toying with for some time -- might 
Lucius end up reforming.

We first met him in Knockturn Alley.  I was impressed with the 
impatience he showed to Draco's excuse making.  LM is a better parent 
than the Dursleys ever were.

I am not saying for a second that he is not a pure-blood snob, but it 
didn't stop him from admitting in front of Draco and the shop 
keeper that Hermione beat the snot out of Draco accademically.

We next find him trying to orchastrate Dumbledore's removal as 
Hogwarts' Headmaster.  It didn't work, but one is left with the 
question of what would happen if it had?  Would Lucius become the next 
headmaster?  If that be the case, would that have been more to serve 
evil or to serve Lucius Malfoy?  Yes, it could have been both, but 
what was more on his mind?

Finally we meet him again in GoF.  He is hobnobbing with Fudge.  He 
has socially got it made.

So, here we have a guy who is mean and nasty and is in good with the 
status quo.  With Voldemort's return, he has now been reduced to being 
a toady of a psycho.  What are his thoughts?

Wouldn't be interesting if Lucius reforms and Draco goes off the deep 
end?
