Here are my thoughts......I believe that Lucius didn't want to endanger his 
son.....he doesn't want Draco involved in Dark schemes yet.........as for why 
Dobby wanted to protect Harry......well, Harry defeated V....he is seen as a 
hero in the wizarding world and is definitely a hero to Dobby.  JKR has 
definitely hinted at a 'noble destiny' for Harry as did Dumbledore in 
Chamber........Dobby feels that Harry is "too important...."
