Montavilla47:
No, you're right, Zanooda.  I was thinking that she was Narcissa's 
mother,  but she's actually Narcissa's aunt-in-law.  I can't even remember 
if we really know her name or if it's just on the tapestry (where Narcissa's
mother and father's would be as well) and that just doesn't count.

And it's all pretty minor anyway.  I agree that knowing about Draco's
family doesn't make him more important to the story than 
Hermione.  Obviously!
