Oh, my goodness, Mike..I'm very concerned with this post.

Don't wizards have anything for menopause..is unfortunately very 
sexist about older women and terribly unfair to Molly Weasley.

Molly is the quintessential amazing mother....strongwilled and 
kind..she will read her kids the riot act (all mothers know that they 
are doing their kids no favors by letting them get away with 
misbehavior)...but loves them dearly and they all know it. Is it a 
coincidence that Harry loves being at their home? Molly is furious at 
the Dursleys for mistreating Harry, and is clearly focused on loving 
and caring for him. 

She tosses Ron an outfit, etc.? Have you ever been poor? Of course, 
she feels awful to give Ron such an outfit, but money only stretches 
so far....

Of course Molly and Arthur don't display their passion in front of 
their children, but everyone knows that parents are capable of 
tremendous eroticism when the doors are closed and the children are 
in bed. They are obviously a devoted couple and supportive partners 
to each other.
