Welcome to the board, Badgerskin. I haven't seen you before. We have
lively discussions here, and we like ideas challenging ideas. I hope
you post a profile and get Messenger. A lot of us will be migrating to
egroups because of persistent problems with the mechanics of this board,
but if you visit regularly, you'll hear a lot about it.

Now, down to business. I don't think we can infer a relationship of the
Weasleys to Harry other than the close one we already know. Remember,
JKR is condensing a year of Harry's life into 730+ pages (300-some-odd
in the other books) She has to, and should, leave out more than she puts
in. In other words, we just weren't told that Harry gave Mrs. Wealey
the key, or sent an owl to Gringott's, or whatever. OTOH, this doesn't
say there *isn't* such a relationship, either.

The Weasleys are already the most family Harry ever had, and the most
love he's experienced. This is one thing I like about Harry/Ginny:
most women turn out like their mothers, and Harry could do a lot worse.
