Draco Malfoy
Ron’s mother and the matriarch of the Weasley clan. Assertive and resourceful, Mrs. Weasley manages to care for her family on a tiny budget and acts as a surrogate mother to Harry, who comes to consider her house, the Burrow, as his real home. Mrs. Weasley shows that a family’s character depends less on its wealth or status in the outside world than the values and relationships it cultivates in its members. She’s a foil to mothers like Aunt Petunia or Narcissa Malfoy, whose negative values harm their sons’ characters or drive them towards evil.
