Grey Wolf, I almost can believe you if not for one thing.

You said:  "<snip> As many other things in the wizard world, apparating is a knack that only someone who's got nothing else in his mind can do. Any sort of mind trouble could make you fail the apparating, and (suposing that another wizard can follow your trail - we know the MoM can) you don't want to be reduced to mincemeat when a potential enemy could find you. <snip>"

How heartless are you making Molly and Arthur out to be? Wouldn't Molly and Arthur be troubled that the boys failed to show up on the platform and then that the car was missing? How could they apparate in that state? I would be frantic. Since Ron has grown up in the WW, he should know that you can't apparate with a troubled mind if that was the case and I don't think he would do that to his parents. Yes, 12 year old boys can be thoughtless, but that would, I think, have crossed Ron's mind somehow.

Just my thoughts,

- Meg (who took the day off from work and who thanks Grey Wolf for his protection)
