Rita,

Thanks for the thought.  I've consulted with my inner child, though, 
and she (having grown up with second, third and even fourth cousins 
considered fairly close members of the family), said 'eeewwww!' and 
decided being a Weasley will be good enough, and that she doesn't 
have to marry one.

Thanks anyway!
