Oooh, another tangential thought re: Draco's perception of his paternal lineage.
It's possible that the Malfoy family (i.e. Lucius' parents & siblings) had a similar family dynamic to the Weasleys while not necessarily sharing in their material lack. There could have been the same vibe of "We are a perfect, happy family and if you dare suggest we aren't then you can fuck right off!" Rich families are no strangers to dysfunction!
In which case, Lucius could have decided to fuck right off and do his own thing while still having the manners, background, perspective etc. of an aristocrat. (And if his Mum missed him as much as Molly seems to miss Percy, she may have slipped him some cash on the sly – who knows?) ;)
