Doddie here:

I'm sorry but most folks have left out one Slytherin...Narcissa 
Malfoy..She's no Bella, she's no Pansy, throughout DH and HBP she's a 
mother and wife like we never expected...

Truth be told, she's one of the pureblood moms we hear about other 
than Molly and Seamus' mum...All of whom have the same thing in 
common, they protect their children...I always wondered why the 
Malfoy's had only one...I get it from Lucious' perspective...but not 
from Cissy's....just makes me wonder if they are so closely related 
one normal kid and they don't want to tempt genetic fate...

But back to the topic...here we have a Slyterin who is not a DE..She 
doesn't have a dark mark according to JKR..and she may have played the 
most pivotal role in DH...at the least, it allowed Neville to destory 
Nagini..wow a foster mum to both Harry and Neville inadvertent as it 
was.

Doddie,
(who would just love Rita's post battle interviews of Cissy, Draco, 
Lucious and Molly--which is probably what happened seeing as none 
ended up in Azkaban.)
