SSSusan:
This a.m. when I caught a glimpse of what threads have been running 
the last few days, I thanked my lucky stars that I was away when this 
one began and so didn't get drawn into it.  But now....

Do you really think Molly DISLIKED Sirius, or just that she 
questioned his ability to be a mature, responsible guardian for 
Harry?  I know she made that one really nasty remark to Sirius about 
his not having been able to do much for Harry for 12 years, seeing as 
how he'd been locked away in Azkaban [ouch!], and I chalked that up 
to 1) the stress of the situation and 2) her worry over Harry 
listening *too much* to rash Sirius.  But I don't think I'd go so far 
as to say she DISLIKED him.  

Do others have thoughts on this?

SSSusan:
I totally agree that Harry needs to be quite forthcoming from here on 
in, concerning just what he's willing to stand for and what he's 
not.  I've posted before that DD needs to come TOTALLY clean on 
whatever he knows now.  If Harry's going to be expected to take on 
this very horrible, very adult burden, then he has every right to 
demand that he be treated as an adult.

I concur, also, that it will be tough for Molly to let go and go 
along with filling Harry in/allowing him to be considered an adult 
member of the Order.  But Snape?  Do you really think he'll object?  
I'd love to hear more on that.

SSSusan:
I don't DARE touch this one, because I'm afraid I won't be able to 
control my language. :-)  Suffice it to say that I think it's totally 
unfair and way beyond what we've seen.
