I must say that that was a nice summary of canon bits ("canon
fodder"?) to support the Evil!Molly idea.  Let me toss out one other
-- Molly's attitude towards Percy compared to her other children.  I
haven't compiled a list by any means, but Molly is certainly critical
of the twins many times, and I seem to recall her carrying on a bit at
Ron, Bill, and Charlie about various things (e.g., the fang earring).
 I simply can't imagine that she would ever have sent Percy a Howler.
 Ginny does seem to go unscathed as far as I recall, though now you've
got me wondering if Lucius perhaps had Molly as an ally when he
slipped Riddle's diary into Ginny's book; perhaps we'll be adding
Sacrificial!Ginny to the cast soon.

But Percy is tolerated -- nay, praised -- by his mother a lot,
certainly far more than by any of his siblings (and possibly his
father).  Perhaps it is part of Evil!Molly's plan to engineer Percy's
rise through the ranks at the Ministry -- I won't be all that
surprised if he somehow wangles Crouch's old job.  From there it is a
short step to getting Fudge out of the way (though I have to recall my
anagram of Cornelius Fudge as Lucifer Segundo), and eventually Percy
takes over MoM with help from Mom, emerging soon enough as Fascist!Percy.

Ersatz Harry, who intends to come back to the War of the Roses thing
when he gets some time to collect some canon fodder
