a variety of reasons, well, actually only two: her looks and her
attitude. I do consider them shallow for disliking her because she is
beautiful, but they have other reason's as well. Being part Veela,
Fleur must have come across this before, and maybe, just maybe instead
of criticizing everything about her family-in-law's lifestyle, keep
your mouth shut and be nice. Defending Fleur because of her
left-handed compliment that Ginny would look nice in pale gold,
doesn't get her off the hook for saying that she would "look 'orrible
in pink". That's just not the right way to go about things, with
anyone, let alone your mother-in-law's only daughter! 

What a wonderful post. Only one comment: I don't think they dislike
her for her looks, but because she is so utterly and totally vain.
Yes, she is beautiful, but she flaunts it, she is as obsessed with her
looks as Lockheart. Now, if one of my kids would bring home somebody
like that it would take me a long time to figure out there was
something else there instead of only the outside, because that is all
she shows. Top that with the way Fleur behaves and I can easily see
why Molly is not happy and fears her son will make a marriage he will
deeply regret when the attraction of beauty has worn off.
