Ok, I searched for this and did not see anything, so fogive me if it 
has already been done.  But I have this awful horrible feelings that 
Ron Weasley and perhaps the twins are going to be tempted to the Dark 
Side or betrayal for money.  I know I know, Ron would never do that.  
But JK definitely upped the significance of the Weasley's poverty GoF 
just when she has set the stage for "now is the time to see who will 
choose what".  And also ron talks about how he believes the twins 
would do almost anything for money (though this may be alleviated by 
Harry's gift).  But the amount of comments by Ron along the line 
of "Why is everything I own rubbish", are greatly increased.  Along 
with his bitterness at Harry's relative wealth (something we had not 
seen in any of the other books).  I think that without a doubt 
something is being set up here.  I mean we cannot just think that the 
Trio are going to go through these dark years ahead of them with 
absoulutely no threat to their loyalty and frienship with each 
other.  And Ron's attitude towards money in GoF, makes me nervous!
