I'm posting just to say that it didn't, Peg... loyalty vs. betrayal 
is a central theme of these stories and your musings were on target.  
Who the traitors in the upcoming novels will be is a matter of fun 
speculation.

I'm trying my darndest not to be swayed by the Running Weasel 
theorists (150+ English/Language and Drama students included, minus 
about 10-15 who could care less).  However plausible the arguments 
might be, I don't think it's in Ron's character to betray a kid who's 
been like a brother to him, jealousy notwithstanding.  For God's 
sake, he's a *Weasley*, a member of the coolest family in this 
particular universe.  Like certain weird ships, I'd have to see JKR 
write it to believe it.
