There was a post I made months ago where I theorised  that our Dolly
is not a pureblood (78719). No known pureblood is described as 
wearing Muggle clothes and Dolly has that horrible pink cardigan. 
Purebloods go to Madame Malkin where they get robes for *all* 
occasions. IMO adults that wear robes only is a pureblood identifier.
So it's unlikely that she's a DE.

A nasty disposition, political expediency and a wish to please the 
pureblood powers-that-be could explain Dolly's attitude.
