Who will die?

Who will die?  I think Hagrid is safe, but I think Molly Weasley, 
(Ron's mother), is in big trouble.

Let's face it, if Hagrid dies, it really won't help the story along 
much.  Hagrid killed by his mother, Harry gets upset and the giants 
go to Voldomort.  Killed by the big V. or followers, giants go to 
Dumbledore, Harry upset again.  Not a big deal. (before you flame, I 
do love Hagrid, oops! I should not have said that!)

Now with Fudge obstructing Dumbledore's getting ready for Voldomort's 
return, there is some stuff to sink your teeth, (fangs?), into.

1) We know Malfoy's hate the Weasleys.

2)Rons dad, Aurthur, is being instrumental in getting those who can 
help Dumbledore in the MoM ready.

3)Harry is protected at the Dursley's, (otherwise known as the 
horrible muggles).

4)Harry is not so protected at the Weasley's.

5)Perfect Percy, (Ron's older brother), who works at the MoM will not 
cross Fudge, he is too attached to following the rules.

6)Molly Weasley almost didn't send Hermonie an Easter gift after 
reading about her supposed triangle with Harry and Victor.  She is 
very protective of him, including him in the family, knitting him 
sweaters, writing to the muggles to let him go to the Quidditch 
matches.

What could get Percy to help his father?  What could galvanize the 
magical community to stand together and fight?  Where would Voldomort 
attack without worrying too much about `collateral damage?'  Where 
would Malfoy, (Sr. or Jr.), go to hurt the occupants for Voldomort 
with a song in their hearts?

At the Weasley home just before the end of summer.  The book always 
starts on Harry's birthday.  He goes to the Weasley's just before 
going to Hogwarts.  Voldomort and/or company attack him there.  He, 
Ron, Fred, and George escape, (flue powder?), Molly Weasley dies in 
protecting them.

This gives our hero's protection like Harry had originally, spread to 
Ron and brothers as well.  This would cement Ron to Harry's side even 
more.  This would inflame the magical community to help Dumbledore.  
This would get Percy away from Fudge.  And with any luck Malfoy Sr. 
might even eat a Canary Crème or a Ton Tongue Toffee! (a stretch on 
the last one, I know).   I think Molly is the one in trouble.
