Even though I don't like all the Weasley's, and I think that some of them I do like sometimes displays bad characteristics, it doesn't mean I think they're evil. Why does everything have to be either/or all the time?
1. I agree.
2. Slut? Aren't we ever going to get rid of the silly notion that having sex is a bad thing? That word should really go into disuse IMO.
On the other hand, if you argue that Ginny treated the boys she dated badly by only using them as substitutes for the one she really wanted, you might have a point.
3. They're friends that often bicker (which in fiction is a Clue of future romance that was pretty ovbvious from the start) and I've seen no indications of abuse, though they sometimes really hurt each other. Calling either of them abusive is so over the top it's almost funny.
4. The Weasley's might be as biased as the Malfoys when it comes to House affiliation. However, the Malfoys have that "let's kill off the unworthy" philosophy that's pretty hard to match with anything the Weasleys want...
5. I think she is overbearing, and also tries to protect people by keeping them ignorant, which I don't like. It doesn't make her evil, or even a bad person, just a human being with flaws.
And in some ways, they're a LOT more lenient. How many of you would have been able to have a friend of the opposite sex visit during the summer?
Dude, I wasn't born in the fifties. I could do that whenever I liked.
6. Even if they wanted to move away to escape Molly's overprotectiveness, it doesn't mean they don't still love her. When I first moved away from home I moved to another city and loved how independent it felt to be away from my family. And my parents are nowhere near as overprotective as Molly.
Also, they might just like the adventure of learning to work and live in another country? Or, as you said, maybe it's hard to find a good place to work with Dragons and you have to take what you're offered? And how many cursebreakers do they need in the UK?
