  Nope..  I wasn't forgetting that she also saw Harry.  I was in no means slamming Molly.  

  Molly is definately my favorite character besides Hagrid. I put Molly on a pedistal.  Look at all she has done.. She does love Harry as her own.  No doubt in my mind.  However, Molly is only human.  If LV had Harry and Ron and was making Molly choose who would die, who do you honestly think she would pick? I am sure she would sacrifice herself, but aside from that..  Do you think she would be capable of sending her own child to his death?  I don't.   It woud be a parents nightmare having to choose any life over another, but...would you choose your childs best friend over your child?  I am not sure any honest parent would.

    I am certainly not giving Molly less credit than she deserves.  That woman would we welcome in my life anytime..She is braver than most think, more intelligent than most think, and certainly more clever than most give her credit for.  But... Not me..  I give that woman more applause than anyone else.  Not to mention she is the most realistic character I can think of.
