Amy:
   
Thank you for pointing this out, I originally did not connect Narcissa willing to do anything to get to her son and Lily protecting Harry, even if it meant she would be forfeiting her life to do so.
   
I also think that this is a pivotal moment for the Malfoy family, when they turn from Voldemort supporters to a Hogwarts family. (In my eyes a Hogwarts family is one who is willing to do anything to protect their family, even fighting against the odds.)  They were the only ex-Death Eater family sitting in that dining hall after the victory and no one said anything or noticed them, and everyone was sitting all over the hall regardless of which house's table was which.  It almost seems as if it was a silent welcome for the Malfoys. I'm not saying that there will never be a Malfoy vs. Weasley and Potter rivalry, but it seems that there will never be a Malfoy the Death Eater family ever again.  Which I am very happy about, it's nice to see that the Malfoys are thinking for themselves, not just following the most powerful person at the time.  
   
Ok, that's enough for now of my thoughts,
Amy
