<<What if Narcissa is a member of Lily and Petunia's (flower-named)
family???>>

I like that theory! Hmmmm. Evidence is mounting for Petunia being a
squib, but it's odd that Narcissa wasn't mentioned as being Petunia's
sister right at the beginning. The Dursley's make a huge fuss about
"The Potters", but don't mention the "The Malfoys" in the same vein.

Of course, we're assuming that Petunia has been honest with Vernon. She
may have conveniently dropped one of her two witch sisters to make it
appear that Lily was the 'mutant' rather than herself (as she would,
otherwise, be the squib in a wizarding family).

The flower names thing could be a big clue, especially as JKR uses names
to give us clues. I'm reminded of "Keeping Up Appearances" - that pinnacle
of British sitcoms - in which Hyacinth Bucket is the main character,
but with sisters called Daisy, Violet and somethingorother. I'd assume
JKR has better taste than to have been inspired by KUA, but television
progs have a way of filtering into the consciousness...

Jen also said: <<Ps. Neil, if you ever show up at my house or anything
just wearing your "pants and vest" combo, I'll... um... do something
drastic! :P>>

Call the police, no doubt! Perhaps, I should wear a jumper too...?
