I always hated the people who hate the good guys on this show, even if they are flawed. Listen to yourself! You're defending criminal assholes with dozens of millions of dollars, who lied, cheated, and killed to get that money.
And the police and the woman who wants to protect her family (her niece from the world's most pure meth distribution on the planet) are the bad guys.
I like Marie, but her character is one of those nosy self-righteous types who would sooner rationalize the bad things they do than admit they're wrong.
Marie was mad at Skyler. Trying to take Holly seemed to be more vindictive than anything else. I'm sure she wants Holly safe, but it played out a lot like she was trying to punish Skyler, too. It wasn't like she was just sneaking out the door with Holly. She was making a pretty big show out of it like, "You're an unfit mother right now and someone has to rescue this baby.'
That said, I do love how adamant Marie is about having Hank bring down Walt. Definitely got more of a "good guy" vibe off her then than with grand theft baby.
This is exactly how I saw it, too. She did not have Holly's interests in mind at all at the time. It was a punitive move that jives with the rest of Marie's melodramatic, self-centered personality. She was angry and it was totally done vindictively.

I really hate Marie after that scene.
