Neri:
As many have pointed out in the past, having DD by the end of GoF 
saying to Snape (paraphrasing from memory) "You know what I must ask 
from you... if you are ready" and the pale Snape (who had just shown 
his dark mark to Fudge) saying "I am" and sweeps out, all this 
dramatic effect seems rather wasted on Lucius, or on anyone other 
than Voldy.

Besides, would Lucius have any relations with someone that Voldy had 
declared dead meat? I doubt it.

But it is very likely that Snape had Lucius putting a good word for 
him, thus bying a chance to recite his excuses before Voldy AKs him 
on the spot.
