Narcissa does seem to be the only possible avenue for Draco's 
redemption.  I can see Lucius doing something to put her in danger, 
making a choice that puts her in great peril.  Draco might realize 
that his father isn't so much an idealist, a believer in V-Mort's 
cause, but is instead an opportunist, using the Dark Arts as a means 
to further his own sphere of influence.

I would think that Narcissa _could_ kill, but doesn't see a need to, 
unless she's protecting Draco.  She's not nice, but I don't think 
she's actively evil.
