More than that! Molly herself is obviously part of the "old crowd."

But should she be? I find the character of Molly to be a bit 
confusing. I really, really liked her until GF, but then her 
ridiculous snubbing of Hermione threw me. She is so easily twisted by 
the words of Rita Skeeter, who her husband and other family members 
all know to be untrustworthy (to say the least). How can Dumbledore 
trust her not to be swayed by someone as sinisterly dangerous as 
Voldemort? I suppose it's yet another example of a Flint in GF, 
right? Please, someone figure out some logical way to explain such an 
absurd story element.
