Aleta:
I don't think it's anything to do with Ron.  I think it's
because of the other aspect of what Rita has to say
about Hermione - that she's going out with Victor
Krum.  Molly believes Hermione is two-timing
Harry, and that makes her angry because Molly
loves Harry and doesn't want him hurt.  Of course,
we know that Harry and Hermione have never
dated, and Harry has no problem with Hermy &
Victor's relationship, but that's Molly believes
Skeeter's tripe.
