Considering how closely Draco resembles his father (at least
physically), I don't think it's likely. We're constantly told about
his pale blond hair and pointy chin looking just like Lucius's. IIRC,
they have the same cold grey eyes that are sometimes narrowed
maliciously. I have a feeling that Draco will be less of a lazy
spoiled brat and more of a genuine menace--his father's son--in the
upcoming books.

Also Narcissa's name is still on the Black family tapestry--maybe not
just because she dutifully married a pure blood. I have a feeling that
she's a Dark Witch like Bellatrix only not so belligerent. Maybe she
brewed the poisons that Lucius has hidden in his basement. And she
definitely communicated whatever she learned about Sirius from the
egregious Kreacher directly to her husband, who passed it on to Voldemort.

I do think we'll hear more from Narcissa, but I don't think she's a
good guy. And if I'm right about her, she'd better steer clear of
Snape unless she can defend herself from legilmency because he'll find
out everything she knows.

OTOH, he'd also be well-advised to steer clear of her. Narcissa's name
suggests self-love (the Narcissus legend) and the Narcissus, as Snape
the Potions master would know, is a poisonous plant (though not
deadly). The name comes from the Greek word narkao, to benumb.
