The Clock Says 'Mortal Peril'....ooowww my stomach hurts.

Certainly, Rowlings doesn't just throw bits and pieces into her story
at random. It seems like every little detail is meticulously research
and meticulously placed in the story, so certainly, the clock location
for 'Mortal Peril' will be seen again.

Two Questions:
1.) Will Mrs. Weasley have Harry's name added to the clock? 

At first the would seem like a very kind gesture. Sort of, a 'you're
part of the family now' thing.

2.) When you buy a clock like that, at first, it seems pretty cool,
but if you are Mrs. Weasley sitting at home night after night staring
at the clock, just waiting for one of the hands to move to 'mortal
peril', I would think it would drive you nuts.

Then, how nuts is she going to get when one of the hands does move to
'moral peril'. She home alone, everyone is off at school or off
fighting the war, and see is sitting there watching the hands of all
her loved ones moving to mortal peril, and his helpless to do
anything. So what can she do, but sit there waiting and watching (or
expecting) them to move to Death one by one. Who needs that kind of
stress? I would think it would be better to not know until after the fact.

On the other hand, she and the clock may see mortal peril that is not
obvious to the person who is in mortal peril, and may somehow be able
to communicate that to them.

In any event, it sounds like a good way to give yourself an ulcer.

Just a thought.
