As I view Molly-- well, drawing out that Azkaban in questioning 
Sirius' role as godfather - that was just LOW. Disgusting thing to 
do -- (whereas Sirius was trying to give her a good example, 
concerning Fred&George...: "It's your parents' decision".)

And Dumbledore wasn't giving much respect for that role, either. 
(Orders on what to tell/not to tell Harry? Ignoring Sirius when 
coming up with the Occlumency Plan (I mean, really - if Dumbledore 
had explained it to Sirius while Harry was visiting Arthur - and then 
Sirius explained it to Harry, maybe Harry WOULD have learned it?). Or 
was Dumbledore falling for the old 'I don't think he'll approve so 
let's not tell him?'.

But back to Molly - Her kind advice (first impression) and even 
scolding Ginny about wanting to go and see Harry; the hug for Harry; 
Apparently she also listened to Ron who took stand for Sirius...

Still, we know why Harry won't tell things to her. He did consider 
the Weasleys in the beginning of GoF, he considered his friends, the 
Dursleys even; he considered Dumbledore. He outs them all, one by 
one, and the one whose like a parent: the adult wizard who cares and 
to whom he can turn for advice without having to feel embarrassed - 
Sirius. (I guess it'll be Lupin now - we DID hear his role would be 
big in Book 6).
