Well, then it will be very interesting to see how she interacts with 
Dumbledore, now that he has told Harry a great deal about Harry's 
involvement and perhaps ultimate challenge in dealing with 
Voldemort.  Whatever information Molly was desperate to keep from 
Harry at the beginning of OoP has been pretty much tossed out the 
window.  Harry may very well know more than Molly does at this 
point.  How will this affect the dynamic between the two of them?
