And that beats my argument how? Lucius planted Voldemort's old diary
because he wanted stir trouble in Hogwarts, yes. But his reasons had
nothing to do with Voldemort.

Lynda:

Ah!  But i disagree with that reading of the text and think that Lucius knew
that the diary was the key to opening the CoS which he knew had everything
to do with Voldemort.  Not only did that advance Lucius personal ambitions,
but it had everything to do with Voldemort and Lucius Malfoy knew it.
