I am so glad you included the word "horrid" in your posting title, 
because Lockhart is possibly my least favorite character of all 4 
books.

A while back I started a thread called "Lockhart - Yuck", explaining 
how much I disliked him.  There was another thread discussing Lockhart 
and how, even if he wasn't associated with Voldemort, was still quite 
evil because of his accomplishment stealing and apathy towards Ginny.

Lockhart is a bad guy.  He wasn't funny to me from his introduction to 
us at Flourish and Blotts and he sure as hell wasn't funny when he was 
down in the Chamber of Secrets, ready to let Ginny die and to wipe out  
the memories of two 12 year old kids.  People that self-centered can 
be frightening even without being wizards on top of it.

I like your idea - I say let Molly Weasley have a go at Lockhart!
