Oh, no doubt JKR is playing on the "no girl is good enough for my Bill!" stereotypical nonsense in HBP. I just think that JKR gave herself an "out" for explaining why the Weasley females were so horrid towards Veela!girl.
All of the female characters in this series pretty much horrify me. I wish I could put a better spin on how "catty" the Weasley women were towards the "bird head" Veela!girl (hahaha not), but I can't. From all I can deduce, JKR thought that whole situation was funny (in a bad tv sitcom sort of way). The sense of humor displayed in this series tends towards the vicious and burlesque. The Weasley family seem like something out of a wizard version of "Benny Hill."
I excuse Ginny's entire existance atm only because I have a really cracked view of Ginny that would probably horrify JKR. Rowling seems to approve of "super" Ginny. Personally, I regard Ginny as an abuse case who never got proper treatment for what Riddle did to her, and now she is acting out. There is no excuse for Molly Weasley.
