I didn't get the impression that Lucius was trying to bring back a
shadow Voldemort. I thought he was sowing the seeds for the Chamber's
reopening, leading to Dumbledore's removal as headmaster, thus
substantially weakening the Good Side. [Especially if Dumbledore is
somehow "connected" to Hogwarts, a la Charles DeLint's fiction.]

Removing Dumbledore is a Major Thing, since he was apparently a major
obstacle to Voldemort before. I looked upon this whole thing as Lucius
serving his master well in absentia, and who would, when V did reappear,
be jumping up and down saying, "Master, I got Dumbledore out of the way
for you! I did it! Wasn't that good, master?" Etc.
