Just a thought on these comments:  why would Narcissa be the only
family member for whom he had any respect left?  Why not Bellatrix?
(Apparently, Sirius's family had initially been supporters of
Voldemort, though not Death Eaters.)  Bellatrix is clearly a Death
Eater, and Narcissa, through her association with Lucius, is at the
very least a Death Eater supporter. What is the difference between the
two, other than possibly their level of Voldemort fanaticism?
