I think that of all the Death Eaters so far depicted, Lucius Malfoy is 
the most aware.  He does have all the advanages: family, wealth, 
social standing.  He is not a mindless thug, like Crabbe and Goyle (by 
extension from their sons, I admit) nor is he the product of years of 
schoolyard disdain, as was Wormtail.  He is right up there with the 
Lestranges.  I see little possibility of redemption for Malfoy, Sr.  
He might attempt to set himself up as a rival to LV, or to manipulate 
the Dark Lord to his own ends,  but that is not to say that he will 
repent or reform.  As for Draco, that rotten apple doesn't fall far 
from the tree.  Neither will turn out to be good.  Anybody care to 
wager on it?  We will know all in about three or four years?  
Something  small, like the winner's choice of paperback book?  Any 
takers?
