"Bullying" is the wrong word, perhaps. How about "nagging and guilting someone into going out or staying with you"?
Anyway, James doesn't bully Lily into dating him -- as Remus and Sirius point out, he has to grow up and prove himself to her. I don't consider Ron and Hermione to be bullying each other either. Acting like utter twats, sure, but not bullying. And Molly is bossy but I doubt she cried on Arthur's doorstep every day until he agreed to marry her, the way Tonks did to Remus. I mean, she basically emotionally manipulated Remus into dating her.

I guess she's closer to Merope than Lavender. :D
