That reminds me of a question that came up as I read GoF. Why did 
Molly after repeatedly defaming Rita as nothing more than a nosy 
troublemaker when she went after the MoM and Harry did she believe 
the article about Hermione?<<<<<<<

The very name of the paper, 'The Daily Prophet,' due to the fact that it employs someone like Rita Skeeter and has the audacity to call itself a 'Prophet' when it reports on stuff that's already happened, sort of amuses me :-)

I would say that Molly's just extremely protective of Harry and his feelings, especially when it has to do with other people --and I mean 'protective' almost to the point of irrationality. It's very strange what we will believe sometimes, even when it's said by people we don't trust.
