Valky:
I am supposing that there is actually a middle ground between the 
the out and out liberals, and the purebloodists where Molly stands.
And that it is a result of loving people from both sides of the 
equation, which I think pertains to Molly because her elder female 
relatives were *probably* Mr's Black and her variously weird aunts 
and grandmothers (see message 125223), whom I am sure that Molly 
would love and give importance to in spite of their faults.

Valky:
Yes, the Weasley's are the Blood traitors. But they are Pureblood, 
so Blood Traitor means something other than marrying muggleborn 
which is so far unspecified.

Valky:
Well maybe that's what blood traitor means. The DE's did go to some 
rather extreme lengths to kill the Prewett brothers. fascinating 
veiwpoint thankyou Vivian.

OTOh to your question, The brothers are male relatives, that's an 
important distinction given Molly's obviously "girly" nature.
(Read Molly going flaky for Lockheart and discussing Love potions 
with the teenage girls)
Molly's female relatives would have some great importance to her, 
but who are they? Best guess is Mrs Black and her strangely sadistic 
counterparts.
