That would be terrible, I agree. But I sincerely hope that's not it. The 
Weasleys are Harry's foster family, and the Weasley home is Harry's safe place. It 
was painful enough when Ron and Harry weren't speaking. I think it would be a 
real blow to the charm of the series if Mrs. Weasley were to die. 

I know I probably sound like a real wuss here <g> , but I think killing Mrs. 
Weasley off is just going too far. I hope JK Rowling didn't choose her for the 
awful death. With all of the things Harry goes through, it's comforting to 
remember that he's got *someone* who loves him and can take care of him, however 
infrequently she's available to him. The Harry Potter books take us through 
many trials, but we need some comforting moments, too, or else it's just all 
pain.

That's why I think Dumbledore must go. That will be a horrible thing for 
Harry, and it will be the loss of another father-figure, but Harry needs to have 
the torch passed on to him so *he* can be the wizard Voldemort fears most. 

Who will be the father-figure for Harry after that? Mr. Weasley.  :)  And, 
when Harry marries Ginny and Hermione marries Ron, they'll all be one big, 
happy, Weasley/Potter family.  :)  Aw.
