va32h:

Because only trained warriors and assasins can kill anybody? I'm 
neither, but I know how to shoot a gun, and I expect that if a 
violently insane murderer burst into my home and tried to kill my 
children, I'd summon up the nerve to use it. 

Why do you assume Molly has no experience duelling? She went to 
Hogwarts, she would have taken the same Defense Against the Dark Arts 
classes that Hermione, Luna, and Ginny took. If you can believe that 
three female students can successfully duel Bellatrix, why do you 
assume that Molly can't?

And whether you believe you were offensive or not - you sure as  heck 
offended me. 

va32h, a housewife perfectly capable of kicking ass and taking names 
should the occasion call for it.
