Hey, I'm not trying to dissuade you.  Between JKR and the back-up 
drive by, Molly needs all the friends she can get. 

I would never suggest that Rowling doesn't love her parents.  But, 
Molly isn't Rowling's parents.  No character but Lockhart is a 
direct caricature. (Albert Hall 2003) 

Molly is *that aspect* of her parents. She is also a lot of other 
people who tried to dissuade Rowling, such as the older woman, 
Susan, who used to offer to watch Jessica, only to be "disappointed" 
when she found out JK was using the time to write. Rowling said: "We 
weren't dead certs for friendship." (Washington Post 1999)


I'm just saying that I'm not the only one who thinks she needs a 
swift kick. Rowling's already given Molly a taste of the boot, and 
she's likely to continue.
