Potioncat:
Actually, I think I once found a star named for Narcissus, but I 
couldn't begin to remember where or how I did it. Of more importance 
is this quote. I found this at Quick Quotes, from an interview in 
March 2004:

queenmarion: I noticed in the Black Family tree that everyone is 
named after a constellation. Is this intentional? Does this have any 
bearing on the plot?
JK Rowling replies -> It's just one of those family traditions, 
although Narcissa breaks the trend. I had always thought of her 
as 'Narcissa' so I decided not to change her to match the others when 
I came up with their names. There's been a lot of speculation that 
she is in some way linked to Lily and Petunia, because of the flower 
theme, but I can put that rumour to rest here: she isn't related to 
them.<<<<
