Oh, I do love the Missing Weasley Child and the naming pattern 
theories, but I think there might be another problem here.  As we 
know that Ron is short for Ronald, couldn't Bill also be short for 
William (or something like it)?  It just messes up the whole thing...
W, C, F, G, P, R..?  Ack!  If Bill really is short for William, only 
3 of the six boys would fit the theory.

Although, William Weasley would be another to add to the alliteration 
list. But I really want there to be a missing Weasley!
