Well you know I've never been a big fan of Fleur, but frankly the way 
Molly, Ginny and Hermione treated her throughout the book really 
irritated me.  I mean, yes, Fleur was arrogant and kind of awful, but 
that doesn't excuse nasty nicknames and mocking.  And it was Molly who 
behaved like an insensitive wart at the hospital, making the assumption 
that Fleur wouldn't marry him since he'd been disfigured.  I was glad 
she snatched the bowl from Molly and took over; Molly is quite 
controlling and only a  blatant display like Fleur's would shake her out 
of it.  I mean do you think Molly would stand for anyone else tending to 
Arthur in that situation? Even his mother? Not a chance.
