Hi, SSSusan.

Yes, that's true but of all the adults Molly was the only one who
personalized it, who made it sound that she was the only one who
cared about the kids/Harry, who got emotional when she got voted down
by the others and who took Arthur's disagreeing with her almost as a
personal betrayal.

Perhaps I'm biased since I haven't liked Molly since the dress robes
incident in GoF but I really think she's one of those people who
prefers to deny unplesantness until she can't anymore and then never
has a backup plan to deal with the consequences.  Okay, if she lost
two brothers to Voldemort, she obviously doesn't want to lose any
more family; completely understandable.  But she's not realistic in
the way she deals with things and Harry was prevented from spending a
lot of time with Sirius - important, guy-bonding,
tell-me-about-my-parents- time - because she kept interupting them or
would insist on Harry helping clean.  The woman just has no
sensitivity at all.
