You know what I just realised? If I were to nominate  Molly's worst 
moment in the books, I would not pick her believing Rita Skeeter's 
lies about Harry and Hermione, I would not pick her running her 
mouth at Sirius ( although I definitely wanted to slap her  many 
times over that one) No, my number one choice would be her 
forgetting about twins.

I mean everything else I could explain by her understanding of love, 
jealousy of Sirius, etc. I cannot justify , but at least I can 
explain those moments.

Her forgetting  about the fact  she has two more  sons, I find close 
to unforgivable.

I even can understand her  yelling at twins about joke shop. She was 
probably very concerned that they won't have a steady job after 
graduation, but forgetting about them, no I cannot understand that.

I guess there is an explanation for that, but I just don't see any. 
Would welcome one.

Now, having said all that, I DO like Molly. If for nothing else, for 
the wonderful children she brought up, so she must have been doing a 
lot of things right. :-)



Just my opinion,

Alla.
