It makes no sense apart from JKR trying to convey the idea that motherhood conveys some special power that no one else can possibly possess.

Motherhood isn't some special designation given by the gods. BUT. When a child is threatened, a mother WILL react even if it seems out of character. This isn't some mystical shit, it's natural. Bears will tear you a new asshole if you go near their cubs. Molly had just lost one child and Bellatrix had nearly just killed her only daughter, while laughing if I remember right. Call it whatever you want, but that would give Molly that extra whatever she needed to kick that witch's ass. It's no different than Neville suddenly going bad-ass with a sword or wand, and standing up to Voldemorte over past crimes against his family.

I could buy a sudden burst of power where she threw a spell at Bellatrix and hit her. But that doesn't explain her winning a duel. And it certainly doesn't explain why the people around her allowed her to duel Bellatrix alone. That was just stupid.

I don't understand all of the conclusions people are drawing up and down this thread. The fact that it happened does not mean that she's making a fucking implication, holy shit. Like the person upthread who said that J. K. Rowling was "implying" that children who come from loveless relationships (Voldemort, who was conceived because his unmarried mother used a Love Potion on his father) turned out badly. What? HER WRITING IT INTO THE BOOKS DOES NOT MEAN THAT SHE IS DRAWING AN IMPLICATION. Correlation =/= causation.

Don't fucking throw around science terms incorrectly like that. It's not even remotely relevant to what your saying. Passages in her book either imply certain things or they don't. That's not correlation or causation.

You clearly don't understand what an implication is. Almost everything people say, do or write has implications. The most of the exceptions being when people are being *explicit* instead.

Also, JKR *explicitly* stated in an interview that Voldemort couldn't love because he was conceived while his father was under a love potion. Now, if you're a believe in Death to the Author you can ignore that as "not canon", but that doesn't mean people are wrong to question *why* she decided that and shared it in an interview.
