Maybe <g>.

As a mother, I do think Molly should have at least not tried
to sneak the robe in, knowing perfectly well it was not what
most others would be wearing.
And then talk about how she bought nice ones matching
Harry's eyes.
It's almost a little cruel, grinding it in like that.

And it wouldn't have hurt to offer some advice as to what
could be done with it.

Yes, it's great when your kids are self sufficient, and take
care of many things themselves, but it also feels nice to a
teen to get some unasked help, sometimes.

Molly and Hermione seem to treat Ron and Harry in similar
ways, in a way.

Harry gets coddled a lot (yes, he needs and deserves this,
and it's great), and Ron gets criticized, and only
rarely complimented

Did anyone here ever look at all of Molly's interactions with her
kids?

I'll have to pay more in depth attention to how she relates
with all her kids during the next re-read.
