Harry had Sirius. Sirius was Harry's legal guardian, yet Molly was trying to overrule Sirius and being a general ass to Sirius. She thought she had more right to say what happened with Harry than Harry's own godfather.

DA - I mean, Sirius clearly had issues, and I'm not sure I'd support him having full custody right off, but that just means he needs support! And to be let out off the house instead of being cooped up and driven mad! Not that he needs to be scolded like a child, and undermined in front of others.

Oh, I agree Sirius needed help and wouldn't have necessarily been an amazing father on his own. But the fact stands that he was Harry's legal guardian and yet Molly thought she had more of a say than him and was a general asshole to him.

Molly also made some pretty good points about Sirius' flaws as a guardian.

I'm not saying that Molly was perfect by any means. I think that pretty much every adult in Harry's life - including Molly, and Sirius, and Lupin, and Dumbledore - was a deeply flawed human being mostly trying to do the best they could under very difficult circumstances. I don't think that any of them were really villains even though all of them were imperfect. All of them were asses at times. But I don't think I'd go so far as to say Molly was a bad mother.

[philstar22]

Sure, she made some good points. She made it in an inappropriate setting (should have been a private conversation) and in an inappropriate way (treating Sirius badly). She also acted like she and not Sirius was the one who got to decide what happened with Harry. None of those things are okay.

And yes, all of the adults were flawed. Frankly all the characters in HP were far more flawed than the author seems to realize. But that doesn't excuse what Molly did. And the things she did just happen to be things that bug me a lot.
