Sienna:

Something occured to me as I was reading your post here and that is 
how Lucius' position has changed in OoTP.  It occurs to me that 
Lucius no longer has anything to lose and could possibly present a 
far more dangerous opponent for Harry in the final two books .  He is 
sure to be not just angry but furious at the way things have turned 
out for him.  Up until now, he enjoyed all the prestige his wealth 
could buy him and while not necessarily trusted by many, his money 
got him anything he wanted.  In a sense, he was able to play both 
sides of the field - doing his work for Voldemort while continuing to 
maintain his position in the civilised Wizarding world.  Now it would 
seem to me that Harry and DD have cut off his safety net by exposing 
him.  If Voldemort loses, Lucius loses and it will be interesting to 
see how  Lucius will react now that the stakes have been raised so 
high.
