Susan I absolutely agree with you. Anyone who thinks of Molly as 
simple needs to wake up.  She is a very strong, powerful women who is 
undoubtedly the head of her family.  A loving mother and as we saw in 
Ootp who is not afraid to be come a warrior and possibly die to fight 
for what she believes is right.  She was the only one to stand up to 
Sirius and tell him to his face that he is the worst possible choice 
to be Harry's surrogate father.  I get the impression there are not 
many people who would have stood up to Sirius Black like that. 

Yes, she is a 'stay at home mum' but I for one was very glad JKR 
showed her in such a strong light in this last book.  It's about time 
we saw just how strong a person it take to be a mum, she's given 
birth to 7 time no less!!!!

Mandy, in support of strong warrior mothers.
