Ah, my sentiments exactly.  I think Lucius will be a key in the downfall of
Voldemort, when his own needs are no longer met.  In fact, if you saw my
Potter code a while back based on vowels, Lucius Malfoy comes out as good,
or one who will aid the side of good.  Anyone who turns against Voldemort
will in some way aid the side of the "good guys" even if it is
unintentional.  I don't think Lucius will in any way join the side of
Dumbledore and co., but will be, as you said, a weak link.

On another note, I never really liked Dobby, but rereading CoS last night I
picked up on something I hadn't before.  Duh, I know it's always been there
but I guess I read too fast before.  Anyway, I was always a little mad at
Dobby for waking Harry up in the hospital wing.  It's bad enough he's there
thanks to Dobby (and Lockhart), but he has to go and wake him up so he can
suffer?  However, I apparently had failed to notice that he was sponging
Harry's forehead in the dark.  <sniffle>  And there were even tears
involved.  How sweet.  I suppose it was one of those "this is really hurting
me more than you" issues.  Ah, well, here's to Dobby and an army of house
elves to fight against Voldemort. :)
