I don't know, but I just cannot see a Weasley *choosing* to go to the 
Dark Side.  I feel that JKR has made a point of showing us that how we 
are raised directly affects the choices we make later in life.  She 
lets us in on Voldemort's childhood, and how his father abandoned both 
him and mom and how mom died, leaving Voldie alone.  We are also told 
of Barty Jr's younger days of being neglected by his father and not 
quite defended by his mother.  I see no such situations in the Weasley 
family.  Both Arthur and Molly show their children love and appear to 
be teaching them to know right from wrong.  I'm not saying they are 
the perfect parents, but I'd be mighty surprised if even one of their 
children chose to be a DE for any reason, because there is no reason 
to stray from Dumbledore and from Harry's side.  I also think people 
speculate about the Weasleys because their family is big - "well, 
there are so many of them; *one* of them has to go bad".  

I love what Cindy wrote about Percy and how he could unwittingly give 
information to the wrong people because he is so driven to do the 
right thing that he may not stop to think about his decisions.  Ron's 
comment about how ambitious Percy is is very telling to me.

All in all I have to say that the Weasleys are good people and will 
stay that way.  Ginny may be haunted by her Tom Riddle possession and 
Ron may not be so successful fighting off the Imperius Curse, but like 
I said, I can't imagine a Weasley *choosing* to go to the Dark Side.  
I don't know that I'd even believe it if it happened.
