Of course Ginny and Hermoine have the excuse of being only 15 and 16 years old and prone to childishness alternating between their very grown-up doings and teenage antics. Molly Weasley's only excuse is that she is an over-protective mother who has always Molly-coddled her children. I think JKR named her Molly for a reason! Our beloved characters have seen and been through so much that we think them beyond their age in actual years, but they are very typical teenagers in many ways. They just have to grow up faster than most teenagers. I think that we will see a unified Weasley family (including Harry and Hermoine but not Percy) behind the union of Bill and Fleur....
