Narcissa could secretly despise the whole pureblood thing and take 
advantage of the fact that Lucius is in prison to extricate Draco 
from that culture.
 
Marianne responded:
This would be an interesting twist.  Our picture of Narcissa has not 
been particularly flattering, but this might be a case of JKR 
throwing us yet another curve.  The only quibble I have is that 
Narcissa has never been known to have any issues with the pureblood 
thing, not in the way that Andromeda, Alphard and Sirius have had.  
There has been no hint of her receiving any family censure for her 
views.  Which is not to say that she doesn't have similar views to 
the three Black sheep.  Maybe she is a wild card in the sense that 
she was never outspoken in the past because she was caught between 
Andromeda and Bellatrix and tried to placate both sides. Narcissa 
may have been trapped between her sisters, seeing the positive points 
in both of her sisters' viewpoints, and not wanting to make a 
decision that would inevitably alienate one sister or the other.
 

Carol adds:
You mentioned our glimpse of Narcissa at the Quidditch World Cup
(snipped--sorry). That's the only time we actually see her, but not
the only time she's mentioned. When Kreacher escapes from 12 Grimmauld
Place, it's Narcissa that he goes to see--the only member of the Black
family for whom he still has any respect aside from Bellatrix, who's
inconveniently in Azkaban. And Narcissa aids Lucius in providing
information to Voldemort. We have an earlier, indirect reference
(again in relation to house-elfs): Dobby refers to his owners as "bad,
Dark wizards." He could be talking about the whole family, including
the twelve-year-old Draco, or just about the adults, his "masters."
Either way, Narcissa comes out as a "bad, Dark" witch and (unlike her
renegade cousin, Sirius) a true member of the Black family.

JKR has promised that we'll see more of her, probably while Lucius is
in prison. I for one am not expecting anything good.

Carol, who wonders whether Narcissa was with her husband tormenting
the Muggles at the QWC
