==Behind the scenes==
 
[[File:Helena Bonham Carter and the tree.jpg|thumb|left|187px|Druella's oldest daugher, [[Bellatrix Lestrange]], in front of the family tree]]
 
*Based on a statement by [[Horace Slughorn]], Druella may have been a member of the [[Slytherin]] House, like her husband Cygnus. However, he may have not meant Druella, as she was a Rosier at the time.
 
*In the Black family, the name Ella also appears before Druella married Cygnus. There were [[Ella Max]] and her daughter [[Elladora Black|Elladora]].
 
*One of Druella's daughters, [[Bellatrix Lestrange|Bellatrix]], has thick eyelids (she is described by [[Harry Potter]] as having heavily-lidded eyes). It is likely that this feature of her appearance was inherited from her mother as no mention is ever made of this characteristic in any members of the [[House of Black|Black family]].
 
*[[Sirius Black]]'s statement that "I'm the last Black left" may indicate that Druella is dead, as her married name is Black. However, more likely Sirius only meant Blacks by birth, who would be eligible to inherit [[12 Grimmauld Place]]. Neither the books nor the Black family tree give any indication of her death, and since her daughters are only in their mid-40s at the end of ''Deathly Hallows'', she may well still be alive.
 
*Druella broke the Black family tradition of naming members of their family after stars when she and her husband, Cygnus, named their youngest daughter Narcissa, deriving from the flower of the same name, the daffodil. This made Narcissa the first child born into the Black family that wasn't named for a star or constellation since Phineas Nigellus Black at least.
 
 
==Etymology==
 
Druella may be a combination of the names [[Wikipedia:Drusilla|Drusilla]], often shorted to ''Dru'' and meaning "dewy-eyed" or "fruitful", and [[Wikipedia:Ella|Ella]], a Norman name derived from the Germanic word ''ali'', meaning "other".<ref>[http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=Ella&nmd=n&gender=both&operator=or Behind the Name: Ella]</ref> Drusilla was the name of infamous Roman Emperor [[Wikipedia:Caligula|Caligula]]'s favourite sister, as well as the daughter named after her.
