I think this is taking it a bit too far, actually. The Weasleys have a
farmhouse and adjoining lands, apparently legally bought, as you said.
There's no reason why they would have a charm so extreme to make people
completely ignore their entire *existence*. Waste of magic, so to speak.
There's no reason why people can't know that there's a house there --
"owned by some family, don't know their name. No, they don't socialize
much. Tend to keep to themselves. Just leave them alone, Junior!" In
the country, everyone tends to know each other, but if a family expresses
a desire to keep to themselves, people will just let them do it without
much comment.
