. . . It's clear that their products are popular . . . they choose 
(to go into) business . . . I don't think they will treat Harry's 
money as a gift or even a loan . . .they will not pay Harry back the 
G1,000. I think . . . they will make him a partner in their 
business; a minor silent partner . . . That means Harry has the 
potential for a lifetime income . . . and will be able to live a 
very comfortable life off his Weasley profits alone . . .

That's a great ship, and I'm following in your wake in the hopes it 
comes in. However the gold comes back, it's pretty certain they will 
simply "forget" to repay Harry in some tangible way. I think Harry 
might also find a comfortable refuge in Diagon Alley, depending on 
the sort of "digs" the twins have secured. They can't be too 
elaborate though. The real estate rents must be pretty high there. 
They need a storefront, display area, storage room and an area to 
manufacture products. Think they will have living quarters there 
too? Much less rooms for guests, kitchen, loo, etc? I think we'll 
see in Bk6. Maybe they venture into nearby muggle London to get the 
accomodations they will need (with a connecting fireplace?). You 
know what, #12 GP might actually be bearable with the twins in 
residence. I even think the portrait of Sirius' mom would get some 
sort of humorour rehab at their hands!
