She doesn't come right out and tell Fred and George to make Percy's 
and to a certain extent Ron's life a living hell, but Molly does make sure to constantly hold Percy up to the twins as the "good" son, 
 
Arynn:
Okay I see where you are coming from. I can relate to the fact that if you are constantly compaired to siblings in a bad way it can hurt the relationship with the parents and the brothers. In my case(as in Fred and George's) I was the one causing the trouble in the house, but I fixed the prolem by the time I was 14. 
 
It seems to me though, that all of the Weasly kids seem to disregard what Molly says. As in my childhood, I assume that it's the case where if you explode so often, it's much less impressive when you do get mad. My father was the calm one so we knew that if we got him mad, we were really out of line (I've done it twice in my lifetime), mom on the other hand, would yell at us daily. This seems the perfect example of the Weasley way.
 
Betsy:
(Plus, I'm not all that impressed with her tears in OotP, now that I think about it.  Molly is ensuring that her remaining children will 
see Percy as the enemy and refuse to forgive his breaking away from 
her and Arthur.  Proper parental behavior would be to keep the 
children out of it.)

Arynn: 
Normally I would agree, but they are in hiding, and there aren't many oppourtunities to get away when you live in a house, full of all these people, that also doubles as a strategic headquarters for fighting evil. The whole time that Harry was there Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, and Ginny never even leave the house. 
 
My family was in a shelter during Hurricane George and we stayed in a large office buliding on base in a room about a third of the size of the great hall of the HP movies. There were 15 families in there with us for a week. Tensions got pretty high, especailly among the smokers who couldn't go out to smoke. We didn't even have ekeltricity for half the time. There were quite a few shouting matches and tears. Luckily the MP were there to keep order.
