>>>>>>And *these* points I truly agree with!  People have argued that Molly
is doing real work, is assisting with the Order...and she IS...but
her work keeps her bound to the house and bound to her traditional
work [which probably leaves room for lots of mind-wandering to those
awful, scary, hypothetical thoughts], rather than putting her out
into new situations which would push her abilities. >>>>>>>>>>

Aggie:
Whilst I agree that Molly's role seems to be that of a 'traditionally
female' one, she *has* done some spy stuff!
When Sirius is talking to the Trio via floo (in OotP) and he mentions them
setting up the DA, he says that he has a message for Ron from Molly.  She
was unable to give it herself as she was 'on duty tonight'.  UK vers Ch 17
Pp330.   I always assumed that this 'duty' was guarding the prophecy.  This
means that she *does* participate in the more 'exciting' areas of the Order,
but probably not as much as the others.
