I've often wondered about Narcissa's relationship to
Lily and Petunia.
I know she's on the tapestry with Andromeda and
Bellatrix, but I've
always felt that JKR was giving us some kind of clue
regarding
Narcissa because her name, like the sisters Lily and
Petunia, is that
of a flower. No one else in the wizarding world seems
to be named
this way. 
Can it ba a clue that she may be somehow related to
Lily, or could it
possibly be a clue that she is simply a Deatheater
counterpart of
Lily's, the way Harry and Draco seem to be light/dark
counterparts?

Now me:  I was doing a little research on name
meanings today to see if their was a little more of a
connection between the names Narcissa, Bellatrix, and
Andromeda.

Low and behold I believe that I may have hit jackpot. 
While the name Andromeda is a constellation (a galaxy
at that) and is primarily of Greek origin.  A mythical
person at that.   In Japan, the name or word
"Andromeda has a very differente meaning.  

3) n :broad-leaved evergreen Asiatic shrub with glossy
leaves and drooping clusters of white flowers

So, Andromeda is a flower also.  Irony?  Probably but
I it would perhaps show a little more connection
between the names Narcissa and Andromeda than what it
originally appears.  

I can't really find any connection between Andromeda,
Narcissa and Bellatrix though.  So I must assume that
the connection within the family lies within the
second daughter Andromeda, indicating that she will be
important in future books.
