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.
