I really like this idea.  I do believe that places, objects, even 
archetypes absorb magical power through magical use. Hogwarts 
must be saturated with it, and it makes some sense that it would be 
tappable by certain officials of the school (especially wizards of 
great power themselves).  In the same vein, though, perhaps the 
kitchen at the Burrow has accumulated some magic of its own through 
years of use, especially cooking magic, which Molly can call on for 
dinner-making help.
