Brigitte:

I am not sure that Malfoy had any idea that the book mighy bring 
back LV/TR at all.  He knows that the last time the chamber was 
opened the school was almost closed.  I think that LM just wanted to 
get DD out of the school.  LM might then hope to get someone else 
appointed as headmaster (maybe even himself) that would carry on the 
Slytherin persuasion of not teaching those with Muggle blood.
