Lucius wanted Draco to befriend Harry for the same reasons that
Lucius befriends Fudge and hands out money to worthy WW causes: it's
a status thing and the Malfoys collect status like other people
collect stamps.  It's also protective colouration: who's going to
believe that you're on the side of badness when you're palling around
with the Minister of Magic and your son is Harry Potter's buddy?

Lucius Malfoy is much smarter than his son, although not as bright as
he thinks he is.
