Actually, Lucius love for Draco reminds me a lot of Uncle Vernon.
Draco wants to be a seeker, Lucius buys him the position. Draco makes
it clear throughout the books that he comes from considerable wealth
and is used to getting lots of stuff from home. Lucius has some
standards Vernon obviously has not (Lucius wants him to perform well,
but then again, he actually has brains as opposed to Dudley), but both
of them spoil their kid rotten instead of being a true parent.
