Hi, Martin,
great post!!! And great theory. An evil Weasley-son
would certainly spice up the whole thing.
My only argument against it: I don't think Durmstrang
has always been the haven of Dark Arts- don't you
think that Karkaroff brought about a change when he
became Headmaster?
Now, Karkaroff seems rather of the Voldemort
generation, maybe he was a classmate of
Riddle/Voldemort at Hogwarts? Therefore, he couldn't
possibly have become Headmaster of Durmstrang before
V's downfall (before, he would have been to young, I
suppose) which brings us to 14 years ago. Supposing
that you enter Durmstrang at the same age as Hogwarts,
the "evil Weasley" would now be 25 which I think is
too young to fit into the picture. 
But he could have been second or third- born, so that
would make Percy the first attempt at another child
after the evil one.

Hi everybody!<BR>
<BR>
This missing-weasley-child-thread has been very
interesting, indeed. <BR>
However, the speculation seems to be about a son
between Charles and <BR>
Percival being killed by
V/DE/insert-favourite-nasty-critter-here or <BR>
sadly stillborn.<BR>
Now, here're my thoughts on the matter, and please
forgive me if <BR>
someone has posted this before (I searched the
archives but didn't <BR>
find it):<BR>
When Arthur and Molly got married they had their first
child, a boy <BR>
whose name we do not know yet. They had two more
babies, Bill and <BR>
Charlie, but shortly after Charlie was born, the
oldest boy started <BR>
behaving strangely. He seemed to be extremely rude and
nasty to his <BR>
brothers and all the other kids in the neighbourhood.
By the time he <BR>
was old enough to go to school, he promptly declared
that he was <BR>
going to Durmstrang to get the best education in the
Dark Arts as <BR>
possible. Arthur and Molly was of course both
depressed and furious <BR>
that their child had turned out to be evil. Once
finished at <BR>
Durmstrang, The Bad Weasley returned to Britain to
join Voldie, and <BR>
wether he died in VWI or was taken to Azkaban is
besides the point, <BR>
he was neither a son af Arthur's and Molly's, nor a
brother of B, C, <BR>
P, F&G, R and G's, as far as they saw.<BR>
This little theory of mine would explain a few
things:<BR>
1. If, indeed, Ron has an unknown older brother, it
would explain why <BR>
the Weasleys never talk about him. When you reject a
son or brother <BR>
you're not too keen on bringing this up: "Well, I
have to keep up <BR>
with my brothers, you know, Harry." said Ron.
"Percy is a prefect, <BR>
Charlie was the best Quidditch player in years, Bill
was Head Boy, <BR>
and my oldest brother was a personal advisor to
You-know-who."<BR>
2. The gap between Charlie and Percy. If Charlie was
newborn when the <BR>
Bad Weasley started showing his true colours, A&M
wanted to be sure <BR>
he was the only bad apple in the bag. When Bill turned
out fine, they <BR>
started, hmm, reproducing again.<BR>
3. Ron's comment about being the sixth of his brothers
to go too <BR>
Hogwarts. True (according to this theory), The Bad
Weasley went to <BR>
Durmstrang.<BR>
<BR>
Please don't hurt me, Weasley-lovers out there (mind
you, I too love <BR>
the Weasleys as much as the next guy, Gredandforge is
definately my <BR>
favourite major character). The bad Weasley is
probably misled by the <BR>
Dark side, and it is not A&M's fault, whatsoever.
We don't blame Lily <BR>
for Petunia's being an arse, do we?<BR>
As for the little "jokes" I threw in, please
forgive me, they're only <BR>
there to lighten up an otherwise rather dark subject
(and a dark <BR>
theory).<BR>
<BR>
>From one thing to another: I see people throw in their
personal wand <BR>
specifications here and there. Where can I find that
quiz? I have <BR>
located the character quiz and the sorting
(Hermione/Ron, of <BR>
Ravenclaw, BTW) but not the Wand-chose-o-matic.<BR>
