The Wizengamot's response to the death of Draco Malfoy's supposed assassin and Lucius Malfoy's hated enemy will not, no matter the circumstances, be to flock to Lucius' side.

I don't know about that. People like a winner. Being thwarted in his revenge against Hermione doesn't look so good, while killing an enemy under Dumbledore's protection does.

The only people who would view this event as "killing an enemy under Dumbledore's protection" and that the death of a first year girl makes Lucius look like a winner are going to be the people already on Lucius' side.

People like power, and those who have it.

I am a little surprised that there has been no discussion of Lucius as the obvious suspect.

It was Quirrell in the books? And, lets face it, it fits fairly well if you assume he was the one targeting her from the beginning.
