Here's the relevant quote:
" 'You and Tonks are related?' Harry asked, surprised.

'Oh, yeah, her mother Andromeda was my favourite cousin,' said Sirius,
examining the tapestry closely. 'No, Andromeda's not on here either,
look -'

He pointed to another small round burn mark between two names,
Bellatrix and Narcissa. "

Oddly, every time this subject comes up, the presence of 3 sisters and
the tapestry makes me think of the three fates. I haven't come up with
anything concrete on that yet, though...
