 I had to snip the Percy and Molly explanations as my quote would be 
too long, I think the only real candidates for a Weasley death are 
Bill or Charlie , percy less so, J.K.Rowling has said that the "body 
count" would rise, I think Bill or Charlie could die, add the effect 
of a war, not distress the plot too much and simple be a good death 
the fill out this body count.
