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.
