Mandy here:
Are yes, but we don't know that.  Granted, we don't know she wouldn't 
either.  But as we know so little about Narcissa Black Malfoy it 
leaves room for all sorts of fun speculation about who she was as a 
school girl and who she eventually grew up to be. 

One thing we do know is Narcissa has two sisters, one is really, 
really bad and the other is really, really good.  So I think Narcissa 
could go either way at this point. Or at least, could have gone 
either way as a school girl.  We do know whatever she believed in 
school, she eventually allied herself to the dark side with her 
marriage to Lucius Malfoy.  Although, just because she's married to 
Lucius doesn't mean she has to share all he values to the extreme he 
does.  It could have been an arranged marriage of convenience, where 
she still holds onto some of the good that lives in her sister, 
Andromeda, veins.  But, on the other hand, she might be as extreme 
has her insane Aunty Black.  Although if anyone in the family takes 
after Sirius mum, it has to be Bellatrix.
  
Speculating that Narcissa was actually more like Andromeda than 
Bellatrix in school, and that Narcissa was in Gryffindor and not 
Slytherin, and who was friends with both pure and non pure bloods, 
and then turned her back on them all when she married. Either by 
choice or not, is more interesting to me than believing she was just 
born bad and stayed bad her whole life. Where's the struggle in 
that?  Mixing the bag up a little, and going against what I would 
consider the obvious choice is a little more fun.  

Cheers, Mandy
