In response to discussion regarding the Malfoys at the World Cup:

First, given that the Malfoys are status-conscious, it would seem to 
reason that they travelled in the most conspicuously opulent means 
possible--the Concorde of transport in the wizarding world.  Or, if 
that was not allowed given anti-Muggle regulations (which Lucius 
would have paid handsomely to override if possible) then they would 
have arranged to reside at the most lavish tent available.  Remember, 
it can look like a pup tent on the outside and house the Taj Mahal on 
the inside.  

Second, I do not belive for a minute that Draco knew nothing about 
what his parents were up to in the field.  He was probably told to go 
enjoy the social atmosphere with his friends (and children of fellow 
Death-Eaters) and to make himself scarce in case there was any 
disturbance.  I am certain Lucius would have told Draco to stay out 
of the way and out of sight--of course, if he wanted a good view of 
the "festivities," then it would be best for him to station himself 
at the edge of the forest where he would be in no danger but get a 
good view of what happens to Muggles when the gangs all together, as 
it were.  

Lastly, Narcissa seems too haughty to partake in such a vulgar 
expression of Muggle dislike to parade around under a sheet hiding 
her face.  She would have been the one to host whatever gathering of 
Death Eaters there was (i.e. the cocktail party prior to the Muggle 
attack) and then stay at the tent while her husband went out to have 
some fun and vent his anger or whatever.  She is most likely the 
money that Lucius Malfoy married to give him the prominence in the 
wizarding community, and has the ambition and wherewithal and talent 
to be a successful person, probably the result of fear, bribery and 
blackmail.  The means justify the end, as it were.  


Just my opinion.
