I just wanted to add my support to the above mentioned topic.  I 
agree with every statement posted above.   And I want to add a few of 
my own.  IMO, Molly Weasley has wonderful mothering instincts-caring, 
protective, applying discipline necessary for her children's 
protection.  I do not believe Harry could have a more worthy "foster-
mother" than Molly.  Ron obviously regards Harry highly and 
understands his lack of caring adults in his life.  Harry seems to 
bring out this mothering instinct in all the women closest to him-
Molly, Hermione.  Like all kids his age, he sometimes does not 
appreciate all the mother-henning he receives. IMO, however, the 
attention of Molly is probably the best thing Harry has going at 
present in regards to adult supervision and support.  I do not 
believe any of the Weasley children have suffered from a lack of 
their mother's attention.
