Ultimately there’s an echo of what Lily did, quite a conscience echo, right at the start of the story, at the very end of the story. At the start of the story Lily dies to keep her son alive. At the end of the story Harry lies to be pretending to be dead on the ground and it’s a mother who saves him again because she’s trying to get to her own son. That was closing a circle. He was saved by Lily and saved by Narcissa.

Hands, softer than he had been expecting, touched Harry’s face, pulled back an eyelid, crept beneath his shirt, down to his chest, and felt his heart. He could feel the woman’s fast breathing, her long hair tickled his face. He knew that she could feel the steady pounding of life against his ribs.
“Is Draco alive? Is he in the castle?”
The whisper was barely audible; her lips were an inch from his ear, her head bent so low that her long hair shielded his face from the onlookers.
”Yes,” he breathed back.
He felt the hand on his chest contract; her nails pierced him. Then it was withdrawn. She had sat up.
“He is dead!” Narcissa Malfoy called to the watchers.

#you know what it is that Narcissa is showing? motherly love. the same that saved Harry from Voldemort. Narcissa Black Malfoy is the perfect example of good hearts and bad choices, even more than Severus Snape. she is fighting a war she doesn’t care about, her whole family has been torn apart and destroyed, her sisters are going to die, and everything she cares about is her child.

i was the one with the world at my feet
got us a battle, leave it up to me

 #instances in which the malfoys proved they loved each other: that one time harry insulted narcissa and draco (who is usually all talk and no action) sent a curse his way without a second thought. that time narcissa vehemently rebuked bellatrix for blaming the DoM catastrophe on her husband. that time both narcissa and lucius desperately entreated snape and voldemort (respectively) that their only son be spared. that time harry sassed~ narcissa and called lucius a loser (lol oh harry) and draco stumbled over his robes in his rush to defend his parents. that time draco told dumbledore he HAD to kill him because if not voldemort would murder his parents. that time narcissa closed her hand around a humiliated lucius’ wrist in a private gesture of solidarity. that time narcissa gave draco her wand (leaving her and lucius without a wand between them). also that time narcissa LIED TO THE DARK LORD in the blind hope that she might see her son alive. oh and that time lucius and narcissa dropped everything in the midst of a massively chaotic battle to do nothing more than shout and search for their boy. #basically ALL THE TIMES #slytherins who behave like gryffindors for each other.
