You don't think that was taken care of when Harry gave them his 
winnings from the tournament?  I'm hoping they'll continue to provide 
some great comic relief throughout!

The only Weasley I am concerned about is Percy.  The foreshadowing 
for him becoming a death eater, being duped by death eaters, or 
having people think he's a death eater starts in Chamber of Secrets 
and continues through every one of the other books.  He's the one I'm 
most concerned about evil-wise.
