Except that we know Lucius speaks highly of Snape because Umbridge told us so 
towards the end of OOTP.

And I can't find a quote right now, it seems my daughter's run off with the 
book again...

Anyway, we can assume that up until the end of OOTP that Lucius is 
manipulating the Ministry for his own means.

How would it benefit him to talk up Snape to the Ministry if Lucius knew 
Snape was a traitor? Wouldn't it better suit him to talk badly about Snape to the 
Ministry. Maybe name him as a supporter of Dumbledore.

I took that more as "Why did you come after me if you're not going to avenge 
Sirius?"
