My best guess is that since Lucius Malfoy planted the diary he strongly
suspected it would happen.  But Draco had no clue.  He's not told near as
much by his father as he *thinks* he's told.  I get the general impression
that he wants everyone to think he and his dad discuss all this sort of
thing all the time, but really he only picks up on a few things.
