Tilting at the Windmills in My Mind

Sharing one of those concepts that won't let go of me:

The Duchess of Malfoy

Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange are worried that their sister Andromeda will marry beneath her station. So they arrange for Severus Bosola Snape to spy on her household on their behalf. Sure enough, she soon falls in love with Muggleborn Ted Tonks...

Rowling's characters map to John Webster's fairly well. Quoting descriptions from Wikipedia, we have:

The Cardinal/Narcissa: cool, rational, Machiavellian ... apparently gained power through bribery and corruption
Ferdinand/Bellatrix: given to fits of rage and violent outbursts
Bosola/Snape: tends to view things cynically, and makes numerous critical comments ... frequently characterized by his melancholy

Anybody care to pick this up and run with it?
