One more point I would like to add is that Gideon and Fabian Prewett
are Molly's brothers.  They were killed by no less than 5 death
eaters in the 1st war with Voldy and died like Heroes.  Another side
note Ignatius Prewett married Lucretia Black, that makes Molly and
Bella (and Sirius) cousins (not much here except it proves that
pureblood families are  often entertwined).  So, my point here is
that, (for those that under-estimated Molly)considering where she
came from - it was her choice to be a "house-wife" and take care of
her family, not her ability that defines who she is..(copied that
line from Dumbledore to Harry - "It is our choices, Harry, that show
what we truly are, far more than our abilities")  To me, Molly is
more than a match for Bellatrix, and Bella should have tremble with
fear when she saw death coming in a form of Molly "Prewett" Weasley.
