Potioncat:
The real reason, IIRC, is that JKR had set on the name and decided to 
keep it, even though it broke it the pattern. I think there is a star 
named for the male Narcissus, but I couldn't prove it.>

Potioncat:
That would be my guess. But I wonder, why did she look so sullen? Was 
the Hogwarts team losing? Was the young Beauxbatons wizard kissing 
the young Drumstrang witch?
