Everyone seems to portray Narcissa, especially in fanfic, either as the ditzy 
blonde trophy wife, or the hostage bride, (not that I don't like some of 
those stories), but it's still left pretty much open whether she is, if not 
an actual DE, at least on her husband's side.

For instance, where is she at the QWC riot if not in a mask?  Why wouldn't 
she be in the woods protecting the son whom she can't bear to send to 
Drumstrang because "it's too far away". (In all fairness to the other side, 
she might not want her son to learn the Dark Arts to such an extent, but with 
Lucius around, that's pretty much a moot point anyway)  And is that look 
"like she's got dung under her nose" for her husband and son (as Harry 
thinks) or Hermione?

Oh, and I doubt Narcissa is related to Lily.  Lucius is so rabid about that, 
and the Wizarding World seems to be so small I'm sure he'd know.
