Del replies:
Molly was insensitive first... How insulting is it to imply, and to
almost say, in front of many people, that she thinks you won't love
your man anymore now that he's ugly? I know *I* would have felt
extremely insulted.

"Molly is his MOTHER, woman!  Shehas known and loved him a damn sight
longer than you have. You could have exercised a little tact, instead
of flaunting your right to be the most important woman in Bill's life."

Del replies:
I don't see it that way. IMO Fleur was not trying to insult Molly: she
was trying to walk the walk after having talked the talk. She had just
said that she would still love Bill, and now she was going to prove
it. And I guess she was also trying to make Molly feel bad for ever
thinking that Fleur wouldn't lower herself to such a task.

As much as I love Molly, I'm afraid she was downright horrible with
Fleur throughout HBP. The way she kept inviting Tonks and pushing her
into Bill's arms, right under Fleur's nose, that was simply
disgusting! So when she topped it with that monstruous and totally
unfounded insinuation that Fleur had only ever loved Bill for his
looks, Fleur had *every right* to be angry IMO.

"Molly is a lot more forgiving than I would have been.  Let's hear it
from those who have beloved sons.  Would YOU want Fleur as a
daughter-in-law?"

Del replies:
My son won't bring me a daughter-in-law for a long time still, but I
know what I want in her: I want her to make him happy (and I mean
truly happy, not just crushingly happy). Period. If she makes him
happy, then she's fine with me. Fleur makes Bill happy, she's devoted
to him, she's taking care of him, she's not even trying to take him
away from his family, that's way enough for me. Sure she's not
perfect, but so what?? Nobody is!

Del, who couldn't help coming to the defense of her fellow
French-woman :-) (even though she irritates me too sometimes ;-)
