Lucius Malfoy, generally a ruthless, aristocratic snob, who has an extreme dislike of muggles and half bloods. He is arrogant, selfish and concerned with his reputation and family’s social standing. His ruthlessness is shown when he dispassionately utilised eleven-year old Ginny Weasley in an attempt to both discredit her father in the Ministry, and remove Albus Dumbledore from his position as Headmaster of Hogwarts. This attempt would have resulted in her death, had Harry Potter not intervened.
But he cares greatly for his wife and son and he demonstrates that he has great expectations for his son and was a demanding father. When Lucius displeases Voldemort, the Dark Lord charges Draco with the task of killing Dumbledore as an indirect attack on Lucius.
In the end, he demonstrates that his Family is more important to him than serving Voldemort and due to this, he is seen like a coward by some of his fellow Death Eaters.
