But Lucius isn't there when Draco says this. It's not unusual for kids whose parents are controlling or manipulative to deny the reality of their lives when they're having conversations with peers, especially when there's a benefit to them in doing so - and here, Draco clearly sees an advantage to having Harry think he's able to boss his parents around - regardless of whether it's true or not.

I think that, in comparison to the bit you quoted, the fact that Draco never has a line of dialogue when Lucius and other people are around - he's totally silent once Lucius is on the scene in Flourish & Blotts and he doesn't speak once in the Top Box in GoF - is at least as telling, if not moreso, of his true relationship with Lucius.
