Potioncat:
If you really want to get people's blood boiling, bring up Molly as 
the topic of discussion.  I would bet that JKR sees Molly as a 
loving, somewhat overextended Mum who does her best and loves all 
her children dearly.  I think that of course, because that's what I 
think Molly is.  At least half the members on this list would 
disagree!  Who knows what JKR really thinks about Molly?  

My point, if indeed I have one, is that we bring all sorts of 
filters and magnifying glasses and emotions and levels of intellect 
to these stories. We add to and take from what's written.  Then we 
run it through the meat grinder that is HPFGU.  I hope JKR doesn't 
spend too much time at his site. I don't think it would be any fun 
for her. But it's a heck of a lot of fun for the rest of 
us....whichever approach we take to our discussions!

With admiration and respect for JKR.
