Oh, I?m so glad people like Evil Molly. I even found a bit of GoF
canon yesterday to back up my answer to Barty Crouch?s confession,
when Fudge says that Barty could have answered as he did because as a
lunatic he believed he was acting for Voldemort, even though he
wasn?t. So Veritaserum does work on what an individual believes, not
what is necessarily true. So as long as Crouch wasn?t consciously
aware he was working for Mol it could be okay. (I wonder what would
happen if Veritaserum were used on someone under Imperius?)

Tom pondered the issue of Molly?s Evil and wrote:

To read between the lines, she wouldn't be able to get to the 
graveyard if she was on the Hogwarts grounds, because she couldn't 
apparate from Hogwarts - so, if she were a Death Eater (at present) 
then she'd have to sneak away from both her seat at the tournament, 
AND Bill, unless he was a Death Eater too and left with her. This is 
because as far as we know, the Death Eaters *apparated* to the 
graveyard.

And so, she couldn't really apparate. And neither could Fudge or 
Bagman, being judges (and accounted for) at the tournament.

Me again: Fair point about Fudge, never gone for FIE myself (he?s just
a snivelling coward, which is almost as bad), but it doesn?t hold for
Molly. She doesn?t need to go to the graveyard, if Voldemort knows she
has a good reason to stay away. There are gaps in the circle upon
which he doesn?t comment. If she were at Hogwarts and doing nefarious
things with his knowledge, her non-appearance at the graveyard would
not be a problem. LV doesn?t mention it to the Des because he?s a bit
secretive, knowing they are not entirely to be trusted. And maybe
because he doesn?t want Lucius to whinge about the Weasleys again.
