Yet Molly doesn't seem to fit the "fallen aristocrat" type. Someone somewhere made the case that Molly was from a lower class than Arthur. I can't remember how it went, but it had something to with how Molly believed the Daily Prophet very easily, and other things. (Does anyone remember how it went?) Although I'm sure she's a pureblood, her background doesn't seem to be as upper-class or upper-middle-class as Arthur's.
OTOH, there is, as you say, "this notion of keeping up the appearance of old family glory". Could it be that she acts like she believes an old, respected pureblood family should act?
