It didn't impersonate Charlie, too (or at least, not while Harry was 
around). But I sort of agree with you. My first thought was, that 
Ginny and Charlie might be the Weasleys, who get offed, just because 
they didn't appear as shapes of the boggart. On the other hand, it 
really is no proof.

I agree. But every single character has a treat, that might put them 
in grave danger (like Sirius' recklessness). Percy's wish for power 
and the twins carelessness and irresponsibility, for example, could 
also put them in danger. And Ron has sort of the mixture of 
the "faults" of hid parents.

This argument doesn't count. Sirius was in mortal danger in POA, and 
he died in OOTP.
