Molly's babies

I don't know.  I think that the idea of the Death Mark, and the loved ones inside hit close to home when Arthur described it.

How's this for an idea:

Arthur's mom and dad (who we never heard of yet) had the babies (2, 3?) and Voldemort went after them, killing everyone in the house.  (My son stays the night at age 3 with his grandmother on occasion, or she just "steals him" for a day sometimes).  Arthur is thus very upset over Dark Arts magic items, or the like because they are used by DE's (including Lucius).  Maybe even a DE gave one of the babies a "toy" that was more like a time bomb, instead of actually using spells?  

This would account for Arthur's campaign against the items, the lack of grandparents being mentioned, and like Neville's parents, some things are just not discussed among the kids--especially if it occurred before Percy was conceived---that was 20 years (almost) ago, at least, and this would have been earlier than that!
