Revenge
Obliviate! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waved my wand and the boils faded fast
I told him I'd get him back
But I don't think he expected my attack
So I made a side trip to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
Couldn't chose between duck feet and constant sneezes
Then I saw the sign on the wall
He didn't have a clue
So I made him wait an hour or two
U-No-Poo
Know who
You don't mess with me
Now he backs away whenever I pass him
I smirk and it's just 'cause I went out on a limb
Thank God for that dynamic duo
Who made sure I'm a vengeance pro
The lyrics to Obliviate!'s song Revenge depict a vengeful narrator who seeks retribution against someone who has wronged them. The singer recounts being hexed by this individual but manages to get rid of the boils with a wave of their wand. They then warn the person that they will retaliate against their hex with one of their own, but the spiteful plan that the singer hatches is not as straightforward as expected. They make a stop at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, where they ponder over the various revenge products available. In the end, the singer settles on a product called "U-No-Poo," whose effects are not immediately apparent but cause the user to experience embarrassing gastrointestinal symptoms.
The singer revels in the knowledge that their target is unaware of their scheme, as they wait patiently for the product to take effect. When the time finally comes, the singer feels triumphant knowing that they have the last laugh. The song ends with the singer gloating about their successful act of revenge and thanking the Weasley twins for providing them with the tools to become a "vengeance pro."
This song is a cautionary tale about the danger of holding grudges and seeking revenge. It highlights the potential harm that can result from acting out of hurt feelings or a desire to get even. The repeated phrase "you don't mess with me" suggests that the singer has a fragile ego and is easily threatened, which can lead to rash and destructive behavior.

Molly
Benjamin Nicholson
People forget that in the books Molly and her two brothers were powerful and renowned duelists from the Prewitt family. Molly meant to join her brothers on the front lines in the last war, but discovered she was pregnant at the last moment. Her and Arthur decided to go into hiding instead. Molly was anguished over the fact both her brothers died and she was not there to help them. Her duel with Bellatrix marks her story arc coming full circle. She gets to save her loved ones. Her statement to Bellatrix "not my daughter, you b####" is in reference to more deaths than just that of her son.
Molly was underestimated because the audience and Bellatrix just saw her as "somebody's mom". After all, Molly had taken a step back to become a mom before her brothers became war heroes. Nobody had reason to remember she was a great witch. Molly shows us that women who set aside their own self for the calling of motherhood never disappear.
If you think about it, Molly becomes the antithesis of Lilly Potter, another powerful witch and mother. Lilly played the self sacrificing mother role till her last breath, whereas Molly got to reprise a protagonist role to save her child directly.
Some may question why Molly didn't act sooner. if you pay attention in this scene, you will see that Molly doubted herself. She was rusty and it took a lot to cause her to step up to the plate. Even she had come to believe she was "just somebody's mom".

Technically molly really was in a sense the spells she uses in the duel are household cleaning spells. A real wax on wax off moment here.

Dueling is just like sailing a sloop
You just never forget how
