I know it is said she wanted to get into the castle to find Draco, but how did it make any difference if she told LV that Harry still lived?  Wouldn't she assume LV would kill Harry and then they would all go up to the castle anyway?  It was a big risk to take if LV found out Harry was alive and she had lied with no payoff for Narcissa that I can see.

The feeling I get is that Narcissa was absolutely through with any loyalty to LV by then.  This was his third attempt to AK Harry and his third failure.  I am sure this gave her hope that Harry was a real threat to finish LV, and she wanted to help that along by putting LV off his guard.
