 Given Narcissa's nose-in-the-air behavior at the QWC, I doubt that 
she treated Dobby any better than Lucius did. Harsh treatment of her 
servant, pureblood views, and expressed or tacit approval of Lucius's 
little plan to return Diary!Tom to Hogwarts would probably be enough 
to class her as a "Dark wizard" in Dobby's view. But there could be 
more to her than just the passive partner of a Death Eater. I very 
much doubt, though, that she's on the side of Good.

Potioncat:
Well, I'm not sure we can make Narcissa into BTG!Narcissa any more 
than we can really believe in ESE!Lupin and ESE!Sirius and 
ESEeveryothergoodcharacter. (Although all that is very fun.) There 
are a few little hints that she may not be what we think she is.  I 
still think there was more to her keeping Draco at Hogwarts than 
meets the eye. And given how Sirius treats Kreacher, I doubt if 
Narcissa knows any other way to treat a house-elf. (I am not 
defending her.)

At any rate, I can't wait to see if Narcissa will be the new baddy or 
a surprise not-so-bad character.  (but never good.)
