Geoff:
If you follow up that line of thought re the Weasleys, where does it 
lead? I am the father of three children, two of them twins - 
fraternal twins, a boy and a girl. The twin boy is over 6'0" in 
height and lanky (the lankiness he gets from me), his sister is about 
5'4" taking after her mother. The older boy is very like my father, 
medium height and stockier. They are all different in build and 
height. we often wonder where my younger son gets his height from - 
no one else even in previous generations has been that tall. So what 
do I deduce from that?
