the missing Weasley child

Hi everybody!

This missing-weasley-child-thread has been very interesting, indeed. 
However, the speculation seems to be about a son between Charles and 
Percival being killed by V/DE/insert-favourite-nasty-critter-here or 
sadly stillborn.
Now, here're my thoughts on the matter, and please forgive me if 
someone has posted this before (I searched the archives but didn't 
find it):
When Arthur and Molly got married they had their first child, a boy 
whose name we do not know yet. They had two more babies, Bill and 
Charlie, but shortly after Charlie was born, the oldest boy started 
behaving strangely. He seemed to be extremely rude and nasty to his 
brothers and all the other kids in the neighbourhood. By the time he 
was old enough to go to school, he promptly declared that he was 
going to Durmstrang to get the best education in the Dark Arts as 
possible. Arthur and Molly was of course both depressed and furious 
that their child had turned out to be evil. Once finished at 
Durmstrang, The Bad Weasley returned to Britain to join Voldie, and 
wether he died in VWI or was taken to Azkaban is besides the point, 
he was neither a son af Arthur's and Molly's, nor a brother of B, C, 
P, F&G, R and G's, as far as they saw.
This little theory of mine would explain a few things:
1. If, indeed, Ron has an unknown older brother, it would explain why 
the Weasleys never talk about him. When you reject a son or brother 
you're not too keen on bringing this up: "Well, I have to keep up 
with my brothers, you know, Harry." said Ron. "Percy is a prefect, 
Charlie was the best Quidditch player in years, Bill was Head Boy, 
and my oldest brother was a personal advisor to You-know-who."
2. The gap between Charlie and Percy. If Charlie was newborn when the 
Bad Weasley started showing his true colours, A&M wanted to be sure 
he was the only bad apple in the bag. When Bill turned out fine, they 
started, hmm, reproducing again.
3. Ron's comment about being the sixth of his brothers to go too 
Hogwarts. True (according to this theory), The Bad Weasley went to 
Durmstrang.

Please don't hurt me, Weasley-lovers out there (mind you, I too love 
the Weasleys as much as the next guy, Gredandforge is definately my 
favourite major character). The bad Weasley is probably misled by the 
Dark side, and it is not A&M's fault, whatsoever. We don't blame Lily 
for Petunia's being an arse, do we?
As for the little "jokes" I threw in, please forgive me, they're only 
there to lighten up an otherwise rather dark subject (and a dark 
theory).

>From one thing to another: I see people throw in their personal wand 
specifications here and there. Where can I find that quiz? I have 
located the character quiz and the sorting (Hermione/Ron, of 
Ravenclaw, BTW) but not the Wand-chose-o-matic.
