would be well-received by Molly?<<

HunterGreen:
I just don't see why he'd say that would have an impact on her. As 
extreme as her behavior might get sometimes, I don't think its THAT 
extreme that major changes need to take place. Yes, she's 
overbearing, but that I think has to do with her being a constant 
worrier, and there is no one that's going to rid her of that. She 
plays favorites, but she's been shown first-hand that 'golden' Percy 
turned his back on his family the moment he wasn't supported (and 
yet, even *that* didn't teach her the lesson, I don't think Harry 
telling her is going to make her feel differently). 
However, if you do think that major changes need to take place, and 
that an argument needs to spark this, how about Arthur? He's her 
husband after all, and he's known her longer than most of the 
characters. I think if Harry were to do something like that to her it 
would be rather cruel and ungrateful, she's been nothing but good to 
Harry (her own children are a different matter...).
