Magpie:
Of course he knew it was the key to opening the CoS but that still 
doesn't make his reasons anything to do with Voldemort in terms of 
his being an ex-DE working for his master.  It having to do with 
Voldemort doesn't make Lucius' reasons Voldemort-centered.  In fact 
Lucius' actions were directly against Voldemort's wishes and helped 
the good side tremendously.  The Chamber of Secrets is Slytherin's 
more than Voldemort's.
