Ah, I loved that scene. It reminded so much of the "Your mama so fat 
she rolled over a dollar and made four quarters" banter of my youth.

Draco is such a wuss. He gripes at Harry for insulting Narcissa 
AFTER he himself just laid into Molly in front of Ron. 

People think I hate Slytherin, but I wish I WAS in Slytherin so I 
could slap Draco around some and tell him to stop humiliating my 
house with his incompetence.

That scene can be taken as evidence that Narcissa is a loving 
mother, but it can also be taken as evidence that Draco is a devoted 
son, or that Draco simply didn't like the embarassment of being 
zinged by Harry.

be able to do the killing herself.  

Oh, that's entirely possible. But then again, we haven't seen her 
when cornered. (Actually, we haven't seen much of her at all.) After 
all, she is the sister of Hellcat Bellatrixie.

not sure he'd be able to stomach it.

I'm beginning to think that Draco will betray Lucius not out of any 
sense of honor or decency, but because he's just too much of an 
incompetent wimp. Lucius will order him to do something and Draco 
will mess it up - my prediction.

I think Lucius will regret not doing to Draco what Col. Fubster did 
to that ratty, underbred dog of Aunt Marge's.
