Why the Molly hate?

[wook77]

I was reading a craptacular story written by an author that I adore mocking.

That being said... a theme that runs throughout this author's stories is - Molly bashing/hating. I thought it was just further proof as to the craptacularness of this author but it turns out I was wrong.

It seems that there is more than one person out there that dislikes Molly for whatever reasons...

My questions to you -

Does anyone else hate on Molly and, if so, why the Molly hate?

No wank and please to be providing reasons.

No more obvious is this made when Molly refuses to let Ron participate in the DA because he doesn't need to learn to protect himself, which harkens back to Umbridge's first DADA class when she laughs off the students' desires to actual learn pratical defense spells.

This was exactly what I was going to point out. There are a wide variety of reasons I dislike Molly, but this seems to be one of the places where it seems just so painfully obvious that she should know better. The issue of Hermione and the egg in GoF is another.

It's interesting that people suggest that a reason people *dislike* Molly is because she's too much *like* their own mothers, and that they therefore have mother issues. If that's true (and it seems to be in a few cases, but rarely), then it really doesn't speak too highly of her parenting, does it?
