>In short, being called a "blood traitor" by people like Mrs. Black
and Lucius Malfoy can only be to the credit of Molly as well as to
her family.<

Betsy:
To us, the readers, yes. And maybe even to the Weasley children, but
I don't think there's much in canon to suggest exactly *what* Molly's
beliefs are, but there's a fair bit that hint she might not be as
liberal as her husband.

vmonte:
Sorry, you are wrong here. The reverse is true. ...edit....
Molly has a strong personality. There is no way that she would be 
able to hide her true feelings about anything. It would be quite 
clear to the readers of the HP books if she did not care for 
Hermione and Harry. The Weasley parents (both) have brought up their 
children to respect nonmagical folk. It is quite obvious (looking at 
canon) how the children (including F&G) feel towards muggles. I'm 
not saying that Molly is perfect, no one is, but I'd choose her to 
be on my side any day.


Valky:
Hmm I don't think Betsy doubts Molly's feelings for Harry and 
Hermione, (right Betsy?) 
I think I agree because, as I understand it, what is being said is 
that *Molly* might not be of a mind that this all is a thorough 
credit to her. 
It's hard to tell but the hints go to her needing approval from the 
community that she belongs to, including the ones that aren't 
aligned _ahem_ /good/. 
Those hints are: Her darkly serious concern for the *reputation* of 
Arthur at the ministry.
Ron occassionally showing an irrational face when dealing with 
persons strange to wizard kind.
Her bleating over Gilderoy *and* Hermione regardless of the obvious 
truth about them.
Almost everything she says at 12 Grimmauld Place goes to prove her 
concerns for "properness" border on ridiculous sometimes.
There are more, but it all says the same, Molly doesn't feel so 
right about being a liberal as her children or her husband do. She 
is a liberal really, but the consequences don't sit so obviously 
well with her as you're saying.

All that said, I would too choose her to be on my side, in a 
nanosecond she is all all good IMHO. The fact that she loves 
wizardkind so much is not a bad thing in the slightest. It just 
creates conflict in her that is yet to be resolved.

 
vmonte:
I also feel bad for Molly because she is probably going to die saving
one of her children--and it's probably Percy.

Valky:
Well Molly would certainly give it all for her children to have the 
best of things. But I forsee her finding out from Fred and George 
that she already did give them the best of things. WE will remember 
Molly smiling proudly over her twins, I think.


Betsy:
 I wonder what her reaction to Percy's Muggle-born
girlfriend was like? And I wonder how she'd react to Ron dating
Hermoine (if it ever happens)? I get the sense that deep down Molly
thinks Muggles and Muggle-borns are a bit untrustworthy.


Valky:
OOOOH good canon Betsy. How quickly did we dismiss Percys 'quiet' 
affair with Penelope. Why did he hide it at first? Was he worried 
about whether others approved of him dating a Muggleborn girl? 
I can imagine a scenario where he was worried, afraid that he might 
let his Mum down by giving *them* something else to smear her 
with... Then he talked to her about it, and she set him straight 
about love, and *totally* supported him in it, hang the consequences.
Awwww..


Betsy:
I think the word "swarming" is pretty negative. But my book
(scholastic paperback) says "packed" which is much more benign. Does
the British version say "swarming" or did someone misquote somewhere
down the line?.


Valky:
Mine is a Bloomsbury edition and it says "packed" so it's likely a 
misquote.
