Oh, I think she's showing parallels between Snape and Draco. Just as I 
believe Voldemort and Dumbledore represent what Harry might be like, 
depending on his choices, I think Snape and Lucius serve the same 
thematic/foreshadow-y purpose for Draco.

However, also note that Snape is single and Lucius does not seem like 
the type of fellow to make Ginny get cow-eyed, at least from what we 
know of her now. ;) I think the point was that it's a bit of a stretch 
to claim that Draco will suddenly see the error of his ways and be all 
nicey to the Gryffindor bunch.
