Do you think Molly was protected from Bella and was in no actual danger in the Great Hall?  Notice LV was fighting and holding off  McGonagall, Kingsley, and Slughorn in the Great Hall.  Just before Harry reveals himself LV sent these three "blasted backward, flailing and writhing through thr air" [p737 US hardback ed] and Harry sends up a Shield Charm to protect Molly from LV. When Harry says "you can't torture them.  You can't touch them [p738]", I can't accept that because that is not what I have been seeing and that is not how Harry is acting. Not consistent.

Niru:

My feeling was that the protection provided by Harry would work only against Voldemort. Molly would have had no protection against Bellatrix. However, even if Harry had not cast a shield charm, Molly would, in all likelihood, have been protected from Voldemort.
