I was wondering about Ginny being the seventh child of a seventh child
myself. I tried to do some research on it, but the information I got on it
was sketchy at best. I don't know if one has to be be the seventh son of the
seventh son in order to have special powers or if you can be the seventh
daughter of the seventh daughter. (Ahh, all this alliteration!!!) Everyone
seems to agree that the seventh child has the power to heal and has second
sight. What is interesting is that it is said that the seventh of seven is
supposed to expose the evil and corruption of the world, but is marked by
those same forces to destroy him/her. I sure feel sorry for Ginny now...

This may well point towards a greater role for Ginny (her relationship with
Tom in CoS and her development in OoP could point towards this) but there
has also been a fair bit of speculation that there is a 'missing' Weasley
(because there seems to be a larger gap between Charlie and Percy than
between any of the others) - if it's true this would make *Ron* the seventh
son ....
