Arthur strikes me as an INFP (introverted, intuitive, feeling, 
percieving), whereas Molly seems an ENFJ (extroverted, intuitive, 
feeling, judging).  (Snip)  Molly and Arthur match perfectly as both 
are intuitive feelers as opposed to sensing thinkers.
(snip)
 Male INFPs are often quiet and withdrawn, tending to identify 
strong areas of interest into which they put a great deal of 
energy.  They also are very easygoing except about the things they 
find crucially important.  The moment those boundaries or values are 
transgressed, they become as very much NOT quiet or compliant.  
(snip)  However, if the wife wants a healthy marriage, she has to 
learn precisely where the writ of her authority stops.  (Snip)


Tonks now:

Ah, and the same can be said for a relationship in which the woman 
is the INFP and the man the ENFJ. She can let him *think* he is the 
boss, but they both know the score when her foot comes down. He will 
know just how far he can go. Also the ENFJ would be the social one 
that goes out and makes friends for them both. ENFJ are fun to have 
around, but one does need to get them out of the house now and then 
or go off to a quiet place by yourself like Arthur does to his shed.


Lupinlore:
> As to Percy, I think his main problem is that he is a sensing 
thinker  (I would label him an ISTJ) in a house of intuitive feelers 
(The twins and Ginny are probably ENFPs, and Ron is likely a male 
ENFJ.  The older boys we don't see enough, but I suspect they are 
ENFP/J).  His whole approach to the world is fundamentally different 
from everybody else in the house.  That is a recipe for problems.  


Tonks now:

Yes, I think you hit the nail on the head here. This explains why 
Percy seems so aloof and has that *Army Officer* *live for the 
rules* mentality which I find so difficult to deal with.  NF's and 
ST's are opposites and can have difficult relationships. But the 
most difficult I think are those involving an NF and an NT. I think 
Harry in an NF and Snape is an NT. I have posted on the difficulty 
with these types before. Let us just say that thoughts of murder 
often come to mind for each of these types when thinking of the 
other.

I realize that all of my favorite characters are NF's.  Molly, 
Lupin, Hagrid, DD, Harry, etc.  I like Hermione too, I value her 
intelligence and common sense.  Not sure what she is and afraid to 
find out.
