IIRC, in the book Lupin changes his moon boggart into a cockroach, 
but I have no idea why, and in the movie it is changed into a 
balloon flying with the air coming out.

I don't think we know how Harry would use the Riddikulus charm to 
change the boggart into something humorous.

And as for Molly, I suppose she could turn it into an enemy that is 
lying there dead.  But would that really be funny?  Depends on the 
person I suppose.
