Hi,

This is my first post here, so hello :-)

There is something that has been bothering me since I read the OOP, 
and I hope it hasnt' been asked before.

On page 84 of the British version Molly says:
'What's wrong, Harry, is that you are *not* your father, however much 
you might look like him!'

She does emphasize the *not* and I am wondering why she does this. It 
suggests to me that she did know James personally and didn't like him 
very much. I know she says that line to remind Sirius that Harry is 
not James, but I think she is also refering to James character and 
personality, for which she doesn't care very much imo. So does this 
mean she had to work with James and developed her dislike for him 
that way?

I would like the hear your opinon. If you think this shows that Molly 
disliked James. I might be not objective on this as I never liked 
James (even before book 5).
