I don't think LV believed that for a second, that Dumbledore 
is going to kill Draco even in self defense. He knows that 
Dumbledore will not kill anyone even in self defense unless it's 
really neccessary. Take the example of their confrontation in the 
MOM - no matter how he taunted Dumbledore, Dumbledore did not 
even try to kill him, how much more if it's a child. No, the main 
purpose of LV for giving the task to Draco to kill Dumbledore, is 
really to punish Lucius as you have said. Lucius failed him twice, 
first the diary and second is his failure to get the prophecy 
from Harry. LV knows Draco is going to fail and be killed, but, 
not because he will be killed by Dumbledore or any from the Order, 
but by LV himself or by the Death Eaters. If Draco fails, LV 
would have the reason to kill both Draco and Narcissa. But LV 
didn't count on Narcissa asking Snape's help.
