well, I sure hope not, but the Ron in the books IS a courageous guy when he 
has to be.  He was willing to sacrifice himself in the chess game because he 
knew it was important *Harry* go on -- not him nor Hermione (don't have the 
book right here, hope I'm accurate on this, but that's how I remember it).  
He was willing to do what he could to "further the mission" but he's a 
"soldier" not the "hero" of the story and he seems to know that.  I don't 
want him to die either, but I *can* see him putting himself in harm's way to 
save Harry -- unless there were spiders involved. . .  ;->  And then Harry 
would be even more determined (as if he needs to be) to get Voldemort.  I'd 
never heard this Running Weasel story -- sure does fit.  Hopefully JKR will 
decide to "do her own thing" and not follow that idea to it's sad conclusion! 
 Hmm, could that mean JKR is a H/Hr shipper?  That the remaining pair will 
bond forever?  Yikes, my mind is raceing off in various tangents with this 
Running Weasel legend info. . .argh!!  

Wishing I had a Ron doll to hug, or could at least yell a warning to Ron!!
