Valky:
Oooh this is good Snow! I have been slowly coming to the conclusion
that HBP is going to reveal a whole new left field degree of grey in
the WW demographic, I had tentatively placed Molly somewhere near its
fringes but I overlooked Narcissa until now.

To elaborate, after having read your terrific post here, I am able to
imagine Narcissa as the youngest sister. It's a surprisingly good fit
really, Andromeda and Bella are painted as such strong willed and
powerfully confident young ladies it is easy to imagine that a "third
wheel" on the cart would develop sense of having less importance. That
could so logically be Narcissa as we know Lucius does like to surround
himself with weaker people whom he can "control".

I am liking this more and more, but I have to run to pick up children
now...

Valky - Firmly in denial (I do not have a thinking problem, thankyou.)
