If they'd stuck with the terms Hydra's father dictated, or at least done a better job pretending, he was going to back the idea of them getting married. I don't think it was THAT crazy. The thing about being a secret muggleborn is that people don't know, right?
Bellatrix is hung up on Hydra marrying Harry but it's never been clear to me how she thinks she's going to get Harry to go along with that. He treats her like a little sister. Well, he's a little nicer to her than Ron is to Ginny but other than that, they really do act like siblings.
Anyway. You're right that a normal life is a fantasy. For any of us. Look at the Order adults, and how things are working out for them. The ones in the most danger are the ones trying to maintain the facade of a normal life, I'd say.
