Sorry I am just replying to this post- been a bit under the weather 
and just now getting back into all of the wonderful things that have 
gone on here in the past week...

This is an excellent point, as I have been thinking of how Sirius 
will be dealt with in the Weasley family dynamic. We already know 
that Ron knows the truth of Sirius and we can suspect that he will 
inform the rest of the Burrow as to the exact nature of his meetings 
with Sirius and all of the important information there in. Molly 
seemed to take Sirius's revealing of himself in human form rather 
well, but I am sure, as with others, she will need the convincing 
that not only Dumbledore gives, but of HHR. 

Looking at everyone at the Burrow, the only problem I see *is* Percy. 
First off, he is overly dedicated to the MoM. "He'd never come home, 
if dad didn't make him" ( please forgive the paraphrase). Fudge 
leaves at the end of GoF after a row with Dumbledore on how things 
should proceed in light of Voldie's return to power. I, for one, 
think that Percy will side with Fudge. Thus, Percy learning of Sirius 
is dreadfully dangerous. He wants to get ahead in the world and in 
his job at the MoM. What better way that to capture Sirius Black- a 
man still considered by most Voldie's right hand man?

I see a grave future here... I so long for Percy to shed his uppity 
skin and let loose, but I think that his constant need for perfection 
and power- as he showed in all of his Humungous Bighead talk- is 
going to be his downfall... I just pray he doesn't take Sirius with 
him.
