In my opinion, the reason that Lucius didn't give the diary to Draco 
was that it would have been too obvious.  In the books, Harry, Ron, 
and Hermione all thought Draco was the Heir of Slytherin and was 
opening the chamber... Lucius, in deciding who to give the diary to, 
probably wanted to find someone who no one would suspect, so he gave 
it to Ginny.  Along with that other stuff about Riddle draining the 
powers from the person who had the diary, etc.

Agree/Disagree?
