Molly- why didn't Ron/Harry help?

Hi!

When I read the part about the Easter-Eggs I wondered why Ron or Harry 
didn't react after they realised that Molly believed 
Rita. If my Mum had thought bad about a friend of mine and I knew why, 
I'd try to correct her.
I imagine letter like this:
*** Hi Mum!
Thanks for the lovely Easter presents. We are having a lot of 
excitement here at the moment. I don't know if you read it, but 
Rita wrote an absolutely stupid letter about Hermione and Harry in WW 
( you know how she writes, not a word is true of 
course!). Harry and I are helping Hermione with opening all the 
Howlers and cursed letters from all the witches, who believe 
that rubbish. I hope, everything cools down, when Rita finds someone 
new to pick on.
I have to get back to homework, greetings to Dad and Percy ( and Bill 
and Charlie when you hear from them)
Ron ***

Now why didn't Ron or Harry think of doing something? They knew 
Hermione suffered. 

Just my 2 Sickles on the point
