  Molly is a nickname for Margaret and Mary. Most probably Molly's 
  name is Margaret, if Molly is just a nickname of hers. 


I vote for Mary rather than Margaret. And then we can compare her to Virgin Mary. Although, that would be a more suitable name for Lily, no? I also think that Molly could be her full name and J.K. Rowling chose it to associate with the word "mother". Mrs. Weasely does seem like the ultimate mother of the series, doesn't she, taking in all of her children's friends despite having so many children of her own.
