Except Lucius doesn't operate that way - it's safer for him to let
Voldemort stay dead, and let his DE past stay in the past. There's a
reason he never looked for him. (and the theories that he's
responsible for putting Bellatrix safely in prison where _she_
couldn't look for him sound pretty good). It's quite probable IMO that
if he had any idea that the diary held a significant chance of causing
V's return, he'd have left it alone. There's no evidence in the books
that Lucius "hopes" (rather than fears) that Voldemort will come back.
