You're not missing anything.  There is no canon evidence that Lucius 
Malfoy was in school at the same time as MWPP.  It is implied that 
Snape knows Malfoy, but that's probably for other reasons.  I would 
think that if Malfoy was at Hogwarts with MWPP, someone would have 
mentioned that before.  It's possible, IMO, that he might have been 
at Hogwarts at the same time as Arthur Weasley, and their mutual 
animosity may have originated then.  However, they could dislike each 
other for purely different reasons, and Malfoy may have attended 
Hogwarts at a different time.  We really don't know.
