Lucius Malfoy and St. Mungos.

Actually, there are two perfectly logical reasons why Lucius Malfoy might be
donating to St. Mungo's.

One is that he might very well feel that the wizard community's system of
magical health care needs to be kept in tip-top shape, so that if precious,
irreplacable _he_ ever gets hurt or sick, he won't have to trust himself to
the mercy of *yuck* Muggles.

Another is that St. Mungo's might have also treated some of his fellow Death
Eaters, or even Malfoy himself.  They could well have an attitude that
quarrels and wars among wizards do not cross their threshold---in St.
Mungo's, all they care about is getting you well.  Even Lucius Malfoy is
probably capable of gratitude.

Of course, if it gives him a source of information and/or control over
people, he's not one to look that sort of gift Kneazle in  the mouth, now is
he?
