E.T. here-
Not sure, but it does seem significant that a  chapter of OOP was 
entitled "The Woes of Mrs. Weasley" & told of her picturing a boggart 
representing her sons, husband, & Harry dead. (They didn't mention 
Ginny but she could have been visualized before Harry walked in on 
Molly.  I can't believe Molly subconciously feels there's less chance 
Ginny will die because after Ginny's near miss in COS, that wouldn't 
be likely...)   Molly's definitely assumed a strong surrogate 
mother's role in Harry's life. 
 That relationship won't be getting her any discount on a life 
insurance policy!
