Potioncat:
I don't think she's currently married. Her simpering on about Fudge 
indicated an interest that was more than political. The Selwyn 
connection was brought up to support her own Blood status, and I'm 
certain there are some Muggle connections a bit too close to home. So I 
suspect the Selwyns are on her mother's side--or else her father's 
maternal side. They must be close enough for favors, at any rate.
