Magpie:
It is right.  Lucius was trying to discredit Arthur to make his own 
life easier.  He wasn't giving Ginny the diary for anything having 
to do with Voldemort, he wanted the Chamber opened for strictly his 
own reasons.  (Reasons which in fact went against not only 
Voldemort's wishes but which worked against his immortality and 
helped the good side tremendously.)  So a_svirn is absolutely right 
to say Lucius planted the diary for reasons unrelated to Voldemort 
(even if the 16-year-old memory of Voldemort got used) and even 
unrelated to trying to get Harry killed.
