Iggy here:

It seems that they are close enough in age that their animosity would
have started back in school.  

Also, while we may have seen the Black family tree, we haven't seen the
one for the Malfoy family.  For all we know, Arthur and Lucius are first
cousins or something, and we all know their respective feelings towards
Muggles.

(And then there's the really fun one... Like Snape possibly having been
in love with Lilly, Lucius may have been in love with Molly.  *grin*)

(Who wonders what Draco and the Weasley kids would have been like if
Molly and Narcissa had switched husbands.)
