I am from a middle-sized family - three girls.  I am pretty sure of 
one reason why I love the Weasleys so much - all the boys! Jealousy! I 
would have given ANYTHING to have older brothers growing up.  I had 
this image in my head that all older brothers would be Richie 
Cunninghams and that is exactly what I wanted it (incidentally, he had 
red hair, come to think of it)  I love Ron, but I also just love his 
family - there is just so much energy coming out of the burrow.

All of my books are on loan to various family members at the moment, 
but doesn't it say somewhere that Hermione is an only child? If not, 
Ithink we can safely assume it - if she had siblings, they would be 
mentioned by now, don't you think?
