I, too, had been near willing to dismiss most of Mrs.
Weasley's "overprotective mother" reactions up to this point in the
book, when I read the boggart scene. That is, until I realized that
she had left someone out. The boggart turns into all of her sons,
her husband, and even Harry, but no Ginny?? I must say I'm not sure
what to think about this. Certainly, if I saw my own mother in this
situation, and a boggart turned into all my siblings but me, I'd be a
bit put off. Not sure what the reasoning behind the omission of
Ginny is, or if it's even an important detail, but something's fishy
there.
