[HPforGrownups] The Clock Says 'Mortal Peril'

The whole issue of the clock does beg the question, why have hand that reads 
"mortal peril" anyway? The only  Weasley member, prior to Harry's Hogwarts 
experience, who would conceivably be in mortal peril would be Charlie, 
because he's working with dragons; and even then his parents knew that, and 
wouldn't have to refer to the clock.
I can think of three possibilities as to explaining the clock:
1) A similar clock will appear elsewhere, and be important. Dumbledore would 
most likely own one; all those gadgets in his office seem to indicate that,
2)One of the Weasleys is in danger of being in unexpected mortal peril, that 
we don't know about yet; if the clock was bought a long time ago, it could 
have been when Voldemort was in power. If it was bought later, maybe there 
is more to Mr Weasley's job then we've been led to believe.
3) The clock was bought after Ginny's experience in CoS.
Any other suggestions?
