That's a really good call. I've read all the books
multiple times and I never even thought about the
Malfoy's loyal support of a half-blood.  The only
thing I can see is that possibly, all of Tom Riddle's
transformations into Lord Voldemort (making him barely
human) somewhat negated his half-blood status in the
eyes of Lucius Malfoy.  Maybe he became evil and
powerful enough that he redeemed himself.  Also,
Malfoy may have been scared to not follow LV.  Tom
Riddle and eventually Voldemort loathed his muggle
father.  So the Malfoys may have been in danger if
they chose not to follow LV because his father was a
Muggle.

This is my first post, so forgive me if my theory is
way off.
