Yes as a matter of fact I do have a reply to this line of reasoning.  
I tend to agree with you in part; however, not entirely.  While I 
agree that "Lucius" is most likely a play on "Lucifer" and thus at 
some point in his background Lucius Malfoy was most likely a "good" 
person - IMO I think that "trusted" is a better word than "good" - 
He "fell from grace" - No religeous overtones intended here - or 
rather he has had his private falling and will yet have his public 
one.  

Also as has been stated before - thought I can't remember who posted 
it to give them credit said that "Malfoy" could be latin for "bad 
faith" OR in other words that He can't be trusted.

There are my thoughts on what I agree with ... Now for what I don't.

I do not think that Fudge considers LM to be his follower or his pal 
but that he is just a human ostrich who sticks his head in the sand 
at the first sign of danger so that he will not have to deal with 
something that he feels is not going to happen - because he refuses 
to believe that LV can come back.  (I think the previous sentence is 
a run-on but I am not sure how to fix it - English never was my 
strong point.)

All of the previous paragraph is my opinion.  If I am wrong then 
let's hope that what JKR makes it interesting!
