/He had more reason to do so than his mother last year to believe Hermione was Harry's disloyal girlfriend./
So, Mrs. Finnigan and Percy are meant to be viewed as ignorant for believing the Daily Prophet's words about Harry, but Mrs. Weasley doesn't take any blame for believing Rita Skeeter's slander against one of her son's best friends? Even though Mrs. Weasley *knows* that Rita is a liar, because she had already insulted the Weasley family before that?
