As for the comment "the woman has no sensitivity at all", again,
this speaks to our different interpretations & reactions to Molly.
You haven't cared for her since GoF. Whereas probably the most
poignant moment in the books so far for me was one in GoF, and it
took place between Molly & Harry. It occurs in the hospital wing,
after the TriWizard tourney & graveyard horrors are over, and Molly
envelopes Harry in a hug, holding him the way *every* child deserves
to be held by someone who loves him. I saw that as extremely
sensitive. I could be cynical and say that's what MOLLY needed at
that moment, but I don't think that's all that was behind it. I
think she loves Harry very much, and she knew that he needed to feel
parental love at that moment.

I like this scene in GoF as well. I really like Molly, so I guess 
that makes me prejudiced too.  Molly has reason to be worried, don't 
you think? I'm sure she realizes that chances are that at least one 
person (or several people) in her immediate family are probably going 
to die--and soon. Some mother's just worry a lot, it's part of their 
nature. And I know from my experience (I'm a mother that worries a 
lot) and my friends, that worrying can be a common trait for mothers--
and I'm not in the middle of the WWW (wizarding world war).   

The first thing I thought when I read the OOTP scene where Molly sees 
all of her loved ones dying (at GP), was that Molly will probably be 
the next to die. And I do not see her dying like a coward or traitor. 

Unfortunately, Molly's death may be the necessary push the Weasley 
kids need to begin a more active role in the war. I think that like 
Sirius, JKR may kill Molly as a means to move her story forward. I'm 
certain that once she is gone the children will be allowed into the 
Order.
