Why
would he 'take a stand' when he is an intelligent man and knows this will get
him killed? Far safer to go along with it - for now. To keep himself, and his
wife and son safe.

Alla:

Well, how long now would have lasted? When was he planning to stop participating in killings and tortures? I do not believe not returning to Graveyard would have required much of taking of the stand though. Some, but in my opinion not much. It is not as if I require Lucius to fight against his former master, god forbid.  That in my view requires taking a real stand, but yes, if he is not a criminal anymore, I believe he should have taken the stand of not fighting. But I do not believe he ever truly returned to light, his antics with diary IMO support that if nothing else.


Kate:
Where is the canon that Lucius was one of the Death Eaters in masks at the world
cup? None that I've seen. <SNIP>

Alla:

Here is some.

"Your exploits at the Quidditch World Cup were fun, I daresay
 but might not your energies have been better directed towards finding and aiding your master?" – p.650

Kate:
Since Lucius had no real concept of what the diary was, what better way to get
rid of more descriminating evidence (he was after all disposing of others via
Knockturn Alley) and set up someone he must be aware is, lets say, less than
respectful about him.

Alla:

I am 99% sure that Lucius had a very real concept of what the diary was, canon (or taking my word back) will be provided tomorrow evening.
