She never called Hermione such, no. But she did seem to believe that
Hermione was using her super love potion skills to stomp all over
poor young Harry's (and possibly Ron's) heart. (Love potions Molly
had been giggling about earlier in GoF. Hmmm, I wonder if Molly felt
a bit guilty, like maybe she'd given Hermione ideas....)

 Ok. I have a completely different view of Molly's reaction to the 
Skeeter report. I think that with her kind of mothers intuition, she 
has probably kind of noticed that Ron likes Hermione more than he is 
letting on. Also she would have to be blind to not know that Ginny 
was very into Harry. Now if you put this together with Molly's 
protectiveness of Harry, it would be easy for her to be suspicious 
of Hermione. Hermione is possibly causing emotional stress to 3 of 
her "children" at once. She has, in Mollly's mind, hurt Ron by not 
returning his feelings, she has hurt Ginny by going after the boy 
she likes, and she has hurt Harry by seeing Krum. I mean I can 
definitely see my mom feeling this way about someone I knew if she 
thought they might be doing something like that. I just dont see 
that it has anything to do with Hermoine being Muggle born.
