Molly is a terror? I've never seen that, I think she is a loving 
mother and wife, and an absolute doll, bless her soul for raising 
all those kids too. But, alas I must disagree with everyone in the 
post, Harry can never truly be a part of anyones already made 
family, he is too much of an outsider besides the fact that he is 
an orphan.. He is looked at as more of an icon or an entity than  
just an orphan boy, it is pertinent that his character remain aloof 
to a certain extent... The Ootp is a type of family, but they 
weren't ready made before Harry came along and he feels some 
belonging there. Though the Weasleys love Harry, he'll never be a 
Weasly, it's just unfathomable in real terms. By the way I'm 
lunabrightest and I'm so glad to find a lot more adults who are 
really interested in Harry Potter. I look forward to exploring the 
site and discussing ideas with you all...
