*shudders at the thought of raising Fred and George - a hundred Strong Woman points for even making it through their first words*
Good points!
I never understood why JKR was so locked into Harry's POV since she obviously needed to step out of it from time to time to make the story work at all. (Setting Snape & DADA teacher on fire, Pettigrew offing the groundskeeper at the Riddle estate, etc.) With that in mind, just suck it up and write multiple POVs.
To be fair, even if I loathe a character's reasoning/logic/knee jerk reaction, I'm always more sympathetic if it either comes from their POV or have had enough of a taste of their POV to have some clue about where they're coming from. Since there is no insight into Molly, she can irritate me more than she probably should. (The exception to this is in drek. Wheel of Time? Lan's the only character who never gets a POV and therefore he is my favorite.)
Charity by Jim --> Jim Butcher? (*shamefully admits to be unsure as to who or where this character originates from as she eyes the two Butcher-books from Christmas.*)
