"By the time we get to OoP, she has decided that she can ignore the 
wishes of Harry's parents and insert herself in loco parentis to 
Harry. Why? We have never seen Sirius give Harry bad or 
irresponsible advice up to the point of the conversation in the 
kitchen of GP. ...Where does she get off telling Sirius that he's an 
inadequate godfather? It's not like Harry went to Molly for advice 
...So what makes her think she has any right to overrule his legal guardian?..."

OK, Laura, get your blood pressure down.  Hysterical types like Mrs Weasley really get us type A personalities going--oops, did I take my pressure pill this morning?  Now take a deep breath and remember who we're dealing with here.  Mrs Weasley is simply not the type that operates on reason as we know it.  She's all emotion and heart, takes in everybody, and doesn't know how not to worry.  But please, cut her a little slack.  These types often have very accurate gut instincts.  They can't explain a thing, everything just goes straight from the subconscious to the gut.  IMHO, this is what JKR was telling us about Molly's character when we saw the Boggart turning into dead bodies of Molly's family and Harry.  Boggarts can read everyone 100%.  So, Molly's not out of line, she's just being Molly
