Alla:

Yes, that is why it is speculation :) about the years Lucius was in school while Snape was there.

> Off topic, slightly, I can never understand why, in the era the HP books are set that anyone sees Lucius Malfoy as a willing Death Eater.  He's the last one to arrive at Voldemort's 're-birth', Voldemort clearly does not like or trust him, and therefore uses him above others to further intimidate him, but unlike Regulus who can commit suicide to prove he came over to the light, Lucius has a wife and son he clearly adores, and does not want to lose them.  Talk about, between a rock and a hard place.

I do not see a rock and a hard place at least in the second war. Say Lucius really really wanted to get out during the first war, but could not. Fine, I can understand that.

But *nobody* forced him to arrive to Graveyard at all and yes, I know it required a little bit of taking a stand, maybe. He did not. But what's most important to me is that he appeared to me to be quite willing participant in the activities at the World cup, he appeared to be quite willing participant in the battle of MoM, very eager I would say.

And of course I wonder who forced him to that little diary stunt with giving to Ginny? His lord is dead, nobody is there to threaten him, right?

It seemed to me that he was very very eager and willing for him to come back.

And of course we hear how much Lucius hates bloodtraitors which is of course while not a sign of being DE per se, points me to the direction that Lucius is quite okay to be one of them, IMO of course.

And even in DH, when I agree Lucius is very clearly out of favor and disgraced and humiliated by Voldemort, he is still so eager for Draco to identify Trio to get back in the favor with his Lordship.

Yes, IMO Lucius is very willing Death Eater, always was.
