You know, I thought that maybe Bella just underestimated Molly, that's 
all. She didn't take her seriously, Molly was for Bella just that short 
and plump housewife, who can only be good at household spells, nothing 
more :-). Bella didn't consider Molly to be a real threat.

She changed her attitude halfway through the battle, but she didn't 
change it enough. She was still laughing and taunting Molly, as if she 
considered Molly's challenge to be a joke. I think that Sirius is 
mentioned in this scene not only because his death was about to be 
avenged, but also because Bellatrix repeated his mistake. Sirius 
underestimated Bella, and Bella underestimated Molly, IMO.
