Am I the only one

I've had a brief look through this thread (uts difficult when it's 
scattered all over the place and you're new here, but oh well).  I 
have noted a few things that I can contest.


In GoF Molly treated Hermione with dislike after the Skeeter articles 
in Witch Weekly (the Easter Egg scene).  Why?  Not becuase she hates 
Hermione, but because she was looking out for Harry!  She sees Harry 
as another son and wants to protect him.  Remember how she cleared up 
afterwards when Harry said "Hermione's not my girlfriend."  We also 
see Molly's protectiveness in Prisoner of Azkaban:

"Do you really want to send Harry back to school with that hanging 
over him? For heaven's sake, he's happy not knowing!" 

This, whilst unwise, shows us that Molly just wants Harry to be 
happy - she doesn't want girls screwing him about or have to worry 
about mass murderers and dark wizards running about after him.  


As for her stabs at Sirius at his absence in Harry's life, it's 
jealousy.  She wants Harry to be in her family and she sees Sirius as 
weedling in and stealing Harry away from her.  THAT is why she picks 
at Sirius.  She won't dislike him - he'll annoy her no doubt, but her 
anger towards him is rooted to her own protective loving jealousy.
