I just thought about this and we've probably discussed it before but 
I thought I'd ask anyway.

How many of you Ron-fans out there are part of a large family, i.e. 
lots of brothers and sisters, and also the babies of the family? 

I am an only child and perhaps that's the real reason I don't 
particulary like or relate to Ron. If that holds true do the other 
Harry/Hermione types come from smaller families, or are perhaps the 
older of siblings?

Also, because my mind seems to have gone blank, is Hermione an only 
child? I've always thought she is, but is there any explicit evidence 
that proves it?  I can't remember for the life of me and I don't feel 
like wading through the books.  I just thought that it is possible 
that her brother(s)/sister(s) could me regular muggles and therefore 
we've not heard of them...
