This is a very interesting theory.  I do not recall, and I do not 
have the first book handy, if Molly Weasly's hair color is ever 
mentioned.  Perhaps she is blonde?  I like the Malfoy connection and 
the idea that the first two children are from a previous marriage.  
In GOF she refers to getting a "telling off" by the Fat Lady for 
coming in at 4:00 in the morning but I do not remember if she was 
with Arthur or if we just assumed she was.  It could explain the age 
difference between Charlie and Percy.

I do recall, however, that Bill told DD at the end of GOF that he 
would "tell Dad" what had happened and he obviously meant Arthur 
Weasley.

I really can't wait for all of this geneology to be explained, I 
think we are in for some major surprises. Even those of us who 
obsessively track these things.
