Well, I'm a guy, so I wouldn't marry Draco or Harry--besides, I think 
Ron is a more ineresting and interesting person,and unlike many other 
fans, I do understand why she would fancy him over Harry. As for the 
Malfoys, Narcissa certainly helps us see a different side of them. 
She fiercely loves Draco, although she vehemently hates Muggles. And 
Draco clearly loves his father. They seem to be a loving family who 
wants to annihilate most of the planet, which is peopled, primarily, 
by Muggles. It somewhat reminds me of what Sirius says to Harry in 
the OOTP movie--their is light and dark in all of us. Still, there 
seems to be a difference between, for example, Hermione's disdain for 
Luna and her wild theories and the Malfoys hatred of everything 
Muggle. But perhaps there isn't, really. I've long had the suspicion 
that Rowling is warning us against any type of bigotry or 
intolerance, which she demonstrates by having most of the main 
characters being intolerant of someone else. Even Harry is unkind to 
Neville in the books and movies.
