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.

Of course LM was working toward his own ends.  He is (for the purposes of
the story) a not unintelligent and powerful man in the wizarding world.  Did
he know  that V was definately coming back?  When he sent Draco to Hogwarts
no, but when things started happening at Hogwarts that year, the whole
Vapomort thing, my guess is that his ear went more closely to the ground to
watch for signs of Voldie's return.  From the general outline of the
stories, many people (more than likely both the good and the evil) did not
think that Voldemort was gone for good. In Lucius mind I would think the
diary was both to advance his agenda and if there was any "hope" for
initiating V's return through "trouble being caused at Hogwarts" to do
exactly that.
