Diana gives a range of excellent reasons why Lucius ‹

Diana
chose that SPECIFIC time to send the diary to
Hogwarts for several reasons. 
Snip
The first bonus was his idea to plant the diary on Ginny Weasley. 
Snip
The second bonus was the fact that Voldemort could, essentially,
be 'reborn' in a new, strong, youthful body. 
Snip
The third bonus was the very possible death of Harry Potter
Snip
The fourth bonus was the removal of Albus Dumbledore as headmaster
of Hogwarts.  
Snip
I wonder if Lucius ever found out about or even suspected Riddle's
change of plans once he began to come out of the diary? 

(sorry to chop out all the elaboration of these points.)

Astrid
The third bonus, about Harry, was surely the key one as discussed by Lucius,
presumably to others, in front of Dobby. He certainly got the impression
that the whole plan was an attempt on Harry¹s life. It may be that the bonus
of Ginny and her family, DD and V himself did not figure in the initial
planning.
