Mandy here:
I'm sure they weren't all James friends.  I'm just playing with this 
idea that it's one of the `bad' guys that hold the key to who Lily 
Evens was.  Why?  I think it would be interesting for Harry to have 
to seek out the dark side to find the answers.    It also might 
explain why we haven't heard form any of Lily's friend up to now.   
No canon just speculation. ;-)

Kids can get away with a lot in school as to who their friends are. 
Especially boarding school where they are away from home. Narcissa 
could have had all sorts of friends that her parents didn't know 
about.  It all depends on where her sympathies lay as a school girl.  
With Andromeda or Bellatrix? Or neither?  I'm sure both of her 
sisters would have had something to say about who her friends were in 
school, but until we know more about who Narcissa is, we can't know 
what she was like at Hogwarts.  What if Narcissa and Andromeda were 
in Gryffindor, where Bellatrix was in Slytherin? Coupled that with 
the age difference, we have room for some non pureblood 
fraternization.  Wouldn't it be interesting if Narcissa was in 
Gryffindor the same year as Lily?  They would have slept in the same 
room together for 7 years.  You get to know some one pretty 
intimately when you share a room for 7 years.

As for scratching off Narcissa's name from that tapestry for 
befriending a muggle born in school?   I don't think so.   Firstly 
it's not Narcissa parents tapestry, it her aunts.  Even if Sirius's 
mum was that concerned about her niece, I think Narcissa's mum would 
have had something to say about the extended family making such a 
harsh judgment on her daughter at such a young age.  And even if 
Aunty Black made such a decision, she would have restored Narcissa to 
full Black glory on her marriage to Lucius Malfoy.

As I said this is total speculation and fantasy and I should properly 
should get myself of to fandom with this. If I wrote fanfic which I 
don't. But I just thought I throw the idea out there.

Cheers Mandy
