Mandy here:
Lucius doesn't seem like the 'go with the flow' type to me.  He's 
more likely to lead the flow. 

However I do agree that it does seem like a stupid risk for him to 
make.  But then again this is not the only stupid decision Lucius 
Malfoy has made recently.  

Leading the raid on the MoM in OotP is, IMO, just about the most 
risky and stupid thing Lucius Malfoy could have done. To risk the 
years of credibility, the elite social and political reputation he 
has built up for himself and his family, only to throw it away on 
playing a petty thief in the MoM!!  It beyond my comprehension why he 
agreed to do it.  Of course he may not have had a choice, LV could 
have commanded him to lead the MoM raid to prove his loyalty. But we 
know that LV didn't command the DE's riot at the Quidditch World Cup, 
that was purely their own doing. Perhaps Lucius Malfoy is not quite a 
smart as he want us to think he is, or he simply cannot control him 
self at times of violence and death. 

Well, now he's in Azkaban and he must be really angry. I can't wait 
to see how he handles that. ;-)
