No, I don't think Narcissa is a Death Eater. When Harry, Ginny and 
Ron meet up with Narcissa and Draco at Madam Malkin's shop a heated 
discussion ensues. Harry and Ron draw their wands and point them at 
Draco.


"Put those away," she [Narcissa] said coldly to Harry and Ron. "If 
you attack my son again, I shall ensure that is the last thing you 
ever do."

"Really?" said Harry, taking a step forward and gazing into the 
smoothly arrogant face that, for all its pallor, still resembled her 
sister's. He was as tall as she was now. "Going to get a few Death 
Eater pals to do us in, are you?"


Two points:

1. Harry obviously doesn't realize how powerful Narcissa is. Her 
empty-headed homemaker act has fooled him, as it also fooled Snape.

2. Harry knows who the Death Eaters are, and he doesn't count her as 
one of them.


Merrylinks, also wondering if Narcissa will play an important role in 
Book 7
