In 7/8 Lucas was desparately trying to gain Harry's trust despite what had happened in Russia. And Lucas appeared to be vulernable, although he still trusted Harry otherwise why did Lucas go back to Moscow in 8.7 for Harry considering the potential consequences if he was caught again in Russia.
But in Series 9 Lucas was different, stronger and colder. The theme was very much on Lucas as the betrayer, and Harry as the one who is being betrayed.

This times infinity. I think that's what I stuggle with most. I expected a pay off and it never happened. Also, I realise that this is an unpopular opinion but I am one of those people who would like to see Harry face some proper consequences for once and I thought that was what the Lucas storyline was about for seven and eight and then it wasn't. In retrospect I think the word I was looking for was less hypocritical (in the context of series nine) but more ironic (in light of Russia and prison).
