SSSusan:
Valky, I'm curious where you are getting this info that Molly was
raised with all this. Do we *know* the mentality of her parents or
upon what message she was raised? Do we *know* she classes herself
as a blood traitor? Or are you assuming she was raised this way
because almost all pure-blooded families "surely" raise their
children this way?
It feels like a pretty big leap to me, but maybe I'm missing
something.
