Eggplant: 
So you're saying you could not find it in your heart to forgive a 
woman who could give your extraordinarily brave but hideously 
disfigured son years of happiness. Are you really sure you want to 
say that?


Bookworm:
I can understand Fleur's annoyance with Molly, but in many ways
she brought it on herself.  From the first time we saw Fleur she was 
obnoxious, self-centered, and disrespectful toward Molly.  I
wasn't very surprised that Molly had a low impression of Fleur
and doubted her devotion to Bill.

Ch5, p92: "Fleur turned back to Harry, swinging her silvery sheet of 
hair so that it whipped Mrs. Weasley across the face."

Ch16, p330: "Fleur, who seemed to find Celestina very dull, was 
talking so loudly in the corner <snip>."

Ch16, p333: "'Thank goodness, what an 'orible- '" (referring to 
Celestina's singing.

Not exactly the way to endear yourself to your beloved's mother is 
it now?  Hitting her across the face, talking during a special radio 
program, and later mocking her favorite singer.  I could forgive a 
woman who would give my son years of happiness, but not one I 
thought would drop him when someone `better'came along.  

But, there was a lot more at play in the hospital scene than 
just the issue with the ointment.  Other than the end of the 2nd 
task in GoF, this was the first time we saw Fleur in any role other 
than Shallow!Fleur.  That was what Molly was recognizing, that there 
is much more to Fleur than her Veela blood.
