 me:
That would set the stage for some good Ginny-Ron bonding; I get the sense that
they used to be close but drifted once Ron went off to school.

me:
I wish he could learn it in a less drastic manner; but it would make for high
drama, especially if they died at Voldemort's hands; then he and Harry would
have something in common.  Though how Voldie could go after Mr/Mrs Weasley,
Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George and not Ron-Ginny in book 5 would be
complicated to set up since F-G would still be in school.

me:
Which would be right up there with the other morals of the story (ie, "choices,
not blood, determines who we are").

me:
Which would set up for some *serious angst*.   (Plot-bunnies are breeding like
mad...must stop them...)
