Lisa:

Where were these policemen and soldiers that Molly apparently 
dismissed?  I must've missed them.  I read about three teenagers -- 
Hermione, Luna, and Ginny -- battling Bella, while Kingsley and 
others were battling Voldemort.  And while the three of them have 
certainly escaped dangerous situations before, I think as far 
as "actual battle" goes, they, too, have little experience.  So Molly 
should have, what, just allowed Bella to toy with the teens while she 
watched from the sidelines?  Are you a mother?  No mother would allow 
that, trust me.
