A fresh perspective on Proven Guity (Spoilers for everything)
laura118b:
On the surface, Molly does seem to match up with a few of the same things that happened with Harry. Both of their mothers were rescued by good men, Charity from a Dragon and Maggie from Hell itself. Both mothers turned away from their associates. Now Charity put aside her magic, we don't have enough info to know if this was needed or something she just did because Michael had an archaic view of magic. We also don't know enough about those two years where Maggie ran and stayed off the radar, I could see her not using her magic for two years right up until her death curse. Add in that Lea has had more than a passing interest in both and the list starts getting even similar.
And there's enough years between Harry and Molly that the stars could have aligned once again, literal or figuratively.
If we find out more about Elaine's parents soon that would answer a lot of questions.

- The whole "Molly coincidentally interrupted me before I could disastrously use Little Chicago" seems very WG in flavor.
- Father Forthill's hunch at the end of PG ("You're being prepared for something").
Based on the thing you and Piotr have suggested, it sounds like nearly every major power in the DV had a hand in the events surrounding Molly's abduction. This makes it *much* more plausible to me that "Molly is Special" is a valid theory.

I think it's possible that a large part of any special value Molly has is defined by her value to Harry, both as a means of catalizing his magical development, and as a resource later in the series/in the BAT. However, this might be completely off, because dispite the narrowing of scope from the readers perspective caused by the 1st person character, Jim seems to have a broad view of the DV as it's creator.
But her end value might be that she's Harry's Robin.

I'm interested in seeing what else you come up with after your re-read. Let me know!

Oh, I intend to. Sometimes I feel like I am better at bringing interesting details together than I am at interpeting what they mean though. Which is why I highly value posts like this and so many of AcornArmy's posts.

It could also be her association, (-1) to a dragon. Charity had talent, Gregor was making deals with a dragon to gain more power. It could be that there was an unknown, or heck maybe even Gregor she never says he died, that is playing around in the background.

*scratches chin* interesting... we know that at least one dragon will be involved in the BAT. Maybe she will have power over dragons rather than outsiders?
