Leah:

Tom Riddle knows that Harry has escaped him twice, once at GH and 
once the previous year, when he was Quirrelmort, and he knows Harry 
was raised by muggles.   He doesn't know about Lily's protection but 
then neither would Lucius.  He doesn't know what he looked like as 
Quirrelmort, but neither would Lucius. So one would have to assume 
knowledge must have been passed on to diary Tom by Lucius or someone 
in his household. I can envisage diary Tom suggesting to Lucius that 
the book be given to Harry so that he can (a) reopen the Chamber (b)
destroy and/or discredit Harry.  However, I believe our 'slippery 
friend' had his own agenda.  Arthur Weasley was carrying out his 
raids under the Muggle Protection Act and Lucius was forced to 
dispose of some of his possessions.  As DD points out at the end of 
the book, discrediting one of the Weasleys as a killer of muggleborns 
would have ruined Arthur.  I'm not sure however whether prior to the 
fight in Flourish & Blotts,  Lucius already decided to switch 
victims, or was going along with Riddle's plan, which was good for 
him too, (destroying Harry would also wreck Arthur, whose son is his 
best friend), and switched as a direct result of his confrontation 
with Arthur.  Whether Lucius considered that Harry's death might 
restore Tom to life is I think a moot point.  However, Lucius could 
play restoration or non restoration to his own advantage.  With the 
latter, he has effectively destroyed Harry, Arthur and probably ended 
DD's career.  With the former, he will become Riddlemort's favourite 
boy.
