But not so, because she had become a traitor to pureblood.
In OOtP when Sirius shows Harry the tapestry, and all the
burnholes where names used to be, I admit having the presumption
that the silly old bag hadn't *hurt* anyone by it. I was wrong.
<snip> Mrs Black wasn't a harmless old biddy trying to make a
foolish point, she really did break hearts in her family with her
maliciousness, and Molly is our proof.
After all, she was raised believing Pure Wizard blood *is*
superior....

Valky, I'm curious where you are getting this info that Molly was
raised with all this. Do we *know* the mentality of her parents or
upon what message she was raised? Do we *know* she classes herself
as a blood traitor? Or are you assuming she was raised this way
because almost all pure-blooded families "surely" raise their
children this way?

It feels like a pretty big leap to me, but maybe I'm missing
something.

vmonte now:

I agree with SSSusan. What proof do we have that all pure blood 
families raise their children to have this ideology of hate? What 
about Arthur? He is also a pureblood, is he not? Is he also a blood 
traitor?

And Molly's brothers were part of the Order. So, that makes at least 
three from one family that did not have this ideology of hate. Were 
they all blood traitors?
