And that doesn't give him much credit either. Especially since he 
fired Lupin as soon as the latter's secret was exposed.

a_svirn:
So, because Ginny was spared a proper investigation, Molly should be 
prepared to spare one of her children?

a_svirn:
Children aren't responsible for their fathers' crimes, though, are

a_svirn:
Arthur and Percy aren't children. They decide for themselves. And 
not always according to Molly's wishes.
