... my favorite type of betrayal theories: The non informed 
betrayal.  The person that thinks theya re doing the right thing but 
ends up doing something terrible.  That person is Molly Weasley.  
Suppose, she is asked to give information out, in exachange for the 
safety of her family and possibly Harry.  Suppose, she for instance 
is only asked to give infor on Hermione (being a muggle born they may 
want her gone..for she is the worst kind of muggle born.  A muggle 
born that is smarter than most other purebloods).  It might be a 
stretch but we are given an awful lot of clues into Molly's 
personality.  Her ability to believe with little proof (aka witch 
weekly
>  article about Hermione and Harry).  Her semi-dislike of Hermione, 
it doesn't seem that she bonds with her as much as Harry.  We know 
that their are times that she lets her fear get in the way of 
practicality.  All of this does not mean that she will turn away but 
JKR has given us ample clues and I don't those clues are without 
meaning

Not trying to stir the pot too much, but this isn't the first time 
I've seen this possibility attached to Molly.  My question is, are we 
really so sure Molly is susceptible to this any more than any other 
character...say, ARTHUR Weasley?  Is there canon evidence to suggest 
that *Mr.* Weasley would not be susceptible to the temptation to give 
information in exchange for the life of someone he loves, but that 
Molly would be?  

I know we see Molly's fears when she's trying to handle the boggart 
at 12 GP, but is there really any reason to think she would fail the 
Order in this way and someone else *would not*?

In all honestly, I think any number of people could fall into 
that "trap".  *Anyone* who cares deeply about another person--Harry 
for Ron, Molly for Arthur, Arthur for Fred, Lupin for Harry--is 
potentially susceptible to this kind of thing.

Just had to get that off my chest.
