I think Lucious is just taunting Harry in front of Fudge. The snake-
like comment is just referrring to LV.  Harry really cant say 
anything as Fudge thinks he is a nutter, and does not believe LV is 
back.  The interesting thing there is that Lucious is meeting with 
Fudge,  and this rasises suspicions later on when Harry tells the 
group back at #12.  Someone says we must notify DD about this.
