Speaking of JWs and No Birthdays Allowed:

What month was Ron born in?  We've seen several other characters 
mention their birthdays: Harry, Nearly Headless Nick (OK, his 
deathday--still important IMO :)), and Hermione.  Any theories about 
when Ron was born?  And if it isn't in early July, how come we've 
never heard any mention of it being celebrated or acknowledged?

I think Ron was born in March or early May myself, for some reason.  
I'm not into astrology, but there's something about those March/May 
folks I've known that reminds me of him.

Sidebar:  This is why Ron needs to be onstage more in Books 5-6, 
perhaps even having a subplot of his own.  Hermione's had at least 
two that echoed into the main plot (the Time-Turner and S.P.E.W.), 
and all we know about the inner workings of Ronald Weasley is that 
he's a wizarding chess wiz, a great friend, sarcastic yet funny, and 
kind of insecure due to the nature of sib order.  The kid needs his 
chance to shine so that the Triad will be more balanced.
