But, as Magda pointed out, Harry is not *really* treated like one of 
her own children.

I do not believe the Weasley children are jealous people.  There's 
too many of them and too much love to go around.  You had better do 
something to specialize yourself in that fam.  

The way that Molly has been attacked makes me think that I'm the 
only person who had a mom just like Molly, and I turned out rather 
successful and pretty well adjusted.  When I see today's music and 
film stars, I am so thankful that I had a mom who instilled in me 
uncompromising values.  Molly has the unique roll of being the mom 
Harry never knew he needed... and while she is a tad psycho, 
*honestly folks*, what MOTHER isnt?  Or do I just live in the 
southern US where all mom's are overbearing yet perfect (because 
they want their children to be perfect...)????

Agreeing that Molly is Conflicted, but what Madre isnt (!),
