Hell yes! I've read the books over more times than strictly healthy, and nowhere did I get the impression that he's all that spectacular or unusual. He has more money than most, and he's made some stupid decisions, but that's pretty much it. He's just a guy, who spoils his kid rotten but also wants him to be tough. He aquiesces to his wife's wishes, from what I've seen. My take is he's probably cowed pretty easily by a select few - Voldemort and Narcissa. I'd love to see that in a story. Lucius sitting there, trying to get Narcissa to stop yelling at him. Hee. And dude, I do not think anyone in the Black family would tolerate their spouse screwing around on them. Ever.
