  Catherine now:
   
  Actually, Ginny disliked Fleur because she treated her like a baby, talking down to her. (Also the whole Veela thing that, I thing tend to make other women a little edgy). But Ginny is actually the one who tells Molly that the match *isn't* off. Ginny corrects Molly when she said that Bill was down-to-earth. (Sorry, can't find HBP at the moment so this is from memory) Ginny says that Bill as a curse breaker likes risks and glamour, Fleur certainly fits the glamour part! I also think that Ginny has a certain fondness for Bill more than her other brothers. He must be almost a 2nd father to her and she's more vested in his relationship with Fleur than Ron's with Lavander, for instance.
   
  I also want to note, how especially Molly's reaction to Fleur changed when Fleur had another moment of depth. (Because a lot of what we see of her is shallow....she insults the Weasley's home as boring, makes fun of Celestina, and treats pretty much everyone as lower than her...) But once Molly sees that Fleur is *really* in it for the long haul, that she truly loves Bill for who he is, and not just his looks, she changes immediately. And I do know quite a few mother's over-protective of their son's when it comes to choosing wives. This is Molly's first experience in the matter, and Fleur is *quite* the daughter-in-law!
