>>>>>The interesting thing about ... is which side he will choose in
the coming events. It is obvious that his parents are going to support
Dumbledore, not Fudge. I would suspect that the rest of the family will
follow their lead. Except Percy. I just don't see him being able to go
against the Minister of Magic. So I'm wondering if we will see a split
in the Weasley family.

I agree, I think this will be a very interesting development in the
coming books. I like the way JKR has shown how the characteristics we
have as children can be thought of as cute, but when we become adults
they can lead to all sorts of problems.

>>>P.S. I am not one of those who thinks that just because he refuses
to believe that the Dark Lord is back, that Fudge is in cohorts with
him. Someone else mentioned Neville Chamberlain and he was exactly the
person that came to my mind.

Interestingly, I have seen at least 5 posts on various NGs, including mine
and Margarets, who refer to the Neville Chamberlain/Fudge parallel. And
a lot of people of our generation (I am a few years older than JKR)
are still very affected by WWII events though we were born after it.
