Kreacher went to Narcissa because she was the only Black he trusted
who wasn't in Azkaban. Clearly he'd have gone to his beloved Bellatrix
had she been free. Since it was Narcissa, not Lucius, to whom Kreacher
was loyal, it must have been Narcissa, not Lucius, to whom he revealed
his information about Sirius and Harry. Either Lucius was present or
Narcissa revealed it to him and he in turn revealed it to Voldemort.

It would appear that Narcissa is a true Black, maybe not a Death Eater
like her husband and sister, but not someone we can trust. Also, since
Draco idolizes his father and emulates his views and actions as far as
he's capable, it would appear either that Narcissa shares and
encourages those views or that her influence is negligible. I'd say
the former is more likely.

BTW, has anyone noticed that Narcissa picked out Draco's wand, or at
least she went to the wand shop to look at wands for him (SS 77). He
may have joined her later and swished around a few wands that she had
picked out until sparks flew out of one, but that's a strange little
detail if indeed the wand chooses the wizard!

Carol, who doesn't trust Narcissa any more than she trusts Draco
