4. Maybe he had a completely different plan that just didn't pan out.

Or, and I hesitate to say, because I know it's natural law in HP verse
that everything has deeper meaning, but, what if, this time, it doesn't?
What if Lucius just happened to be carrying the diary (just bought or
intending to sell it in Knockturn Alley?) and happened to see Ginny and
thought, "I wonder what kind of trouble this could brew for those pesky
Weasleys?" (except more evilly.) Just sayin, sometimes people do stupid
things for no particular reason; may evil Lucius just had a *feeling* he
could brew up some trouble, but he didn't have a real plan.
