  Me (Marci) again:

"But I know one thing -- last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, 
a Mudblood died," says Malfoy to a Polyjuice-Potioned Ron and Harry.  
Plus, she wouldn't know she was his aunt.  And, like I said, it only 
works if she was a first year when she died.  I assumed she might 
have been a Hufflepuff.
