Having just finnished rereading COS, I could not help but notice the 
number of times Percy is encountered doing something mysterious that 
remains unexplained. The first time I readthe book, I assumed that 
all of the mystery had to do with Percy's budding relationship with 
Penelope Clearwater. However, on second reading, I realized that at 
least one of these encounters took place in the dungeons, where 
Pewnelope, being a Ravenclaw, seems unlikely to have been hanging 
out. In addition, more than one of them involves The VM possessed 
Ginny. Subsequently, in book 3, POA, we discover that Percy's former 
pet rat (now Ron's) is, in fact, a VM operative.

Therefore, it seems to me that for whatever reason, VM and his 
operatives have targeted the Weasley family for some time. I think 
that they, with their red hair are the prime candidates for an 
heirship relationship with Gryffindor, and not the Potters. In 
addition, it seems to me that Ron, imparticular has some heavy links 
to possible Royal status, both via his name, and via the literary 
device of his proclamation as  "our king" in OOTP.

What any of this has to do with Half-Blooded- or Half Bloodedness, I 
don't know, except, possibly with Arthur's (name also an indication 
of possible royalness). But, I am convinced that Harry (everyman)
will ultimately turn out to be the servant to Ron, the king, even if 
only metaphorically; ir makes good literary sense.
