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.

Of course its safer for him to let Voldemort stay dead. And you're right, my
theory is 'my' theory, but I still speculate on this.  It simply makes sense
to me.  No.  Lucius did not expect Voldie's return, but I'm sure that once
the evidence started building he began to put two and two together.  He
certainly didn't waste any time showing up at the graveyard on GoF or
raising his son to have a healthy "respect" for not only the dark arts but
Voldemort actions and memory.
