zgirnius:
Had Rowling killed Lucius, she would have taken away Draco's father and 
Narcissa's husband.  I don't think she spared him for his own lovely 
and deserving self, but for them. (Not that they are especially lovely 
and deserving either, this is a relative statement). I think that the 
point was that among the Death Eaters, their love for one another set 
them apart from, and above, the others. Yes, Lucius could not care less 
about poor Charity Burbage, but he was quite obviously concerned about 
his son, which places him above people like the Carrows and Bellatrix. 
Draco and Cissy had even more going for them.

Love, love, love...
