In DH, out of all the DEs around, LV  chose Narcissa Malfoy to check if 
Harry is still alive. 

Bellatrix is  his trustworthy lieutenant and  
cannot-be-lost-to-Potter-just-in-case-he-is-alive material, I suppose.  Alright. Maybe he felt somewhat 
similar about the rest of the DEs too.  

But why not say Lucius? Lucius has at least been trying hard to get  back 
to LV's good books. Narcissa has been giving a deadpan stare for quite a  
long time. True that she was excited to see the Trio at Malfoy Manor but she  
was not as excited as her husband and was not there (at least Harry didn't 
see  her in his vision) in the "running race" to escape LV's fury that 
followed the  event. And I don't think her disappointment in Draco's treatment 
would have  been missed by LV. 

So, why do you think he chose Narcissa Malfoy of  all the people? 

Cheers,

He  spent the entire book humiliating Lucius as much as he could and IMO he 
was  telling Lucius he wasn't going to trust him with even this simple a 
job, but  he would entrust his wife to do it. LV's lack of understanding love 
and family  led him to make one of his biggest mistakes among followers he 
thought he knew  so well.
