When Harry makes his promise with Draco, one of the conditions is that if Narcissa got her hands dirty, it wouldn't make her murderer evil like it would if they were unprovoked. Well, if Lucius murdered Amelia's husband or other loved one, she might kill Lucius's loved one in enraged revenge, if she felt that she could not harm Lucius directly. That might be enough to put her on this side of Dumbledore's moral event horizon.
But again, I don't really subscribe to this theory. It's just the only thing close to a legitimate hint that I've noticed or seen anyone else talk about.
Close, but no cigar:
Narcissa's sister murdered Amelia's brother.
Whoa! How did I miss that!? That certainly gives this theory a lot more credence! It also makes it a little more plausible that Amelia thought she couldn't directly attack the one she wished to take revenge on.
Maybe I subscribe to this theory after all. The "burn" line alone isn't that strong of evidence, but two hints in that kind of proximity to each other is too much of a coincidence to ignore.
