I like seeing Lucius written as grey myself. Yay for emotions and all, but some authors can go too far and turn him into a puss that's completely out of character.
But then I also don't want to read a Lucius who is so dark and dismal and cruel that he's more unhuman than...something really unhuman.
Severus? Well, I think that he and Lucius screwed around once (with Lucius being the dominant figure in the relationship) but that it's sorta panned out by the time Harry/Draco/etc are in school.
Narcissa? I rather like to think they married out of love for one another in addition to sharing similar values/goals/etc. But I don't think Narcissa will ever be able to shake the stigma of a trophy wife. At least, not until we see more of her in canon.
Draco? I think Lucius loves him and all BUT does think his son is a puss. Maybe Lucius subliminally encouraged it? I mean, if he's always spoiling his son rotten and having house elves do everything for Draco, I'm not surprised Draco is the way he is.
