"die, ron, die"

No: HPFGUIDX 88373

I've just finished reading the "Knight to King" theory revolving 
around Ron's place in the HP universe.  It is a very amazing theory 
very detailed and solidly based in canon.  It is based on the chess 
game in PS/SS and explains Ron's dual role in the chess game as both 
Knight and "Player/King".

They actualy have drawn many of the same conclusions that you have.  
But Ron doesn't doesn't die in their theory.  I HIGHLY recommend that 
everyone check out this site!  I know that I'll be re-reading the 
books carefully with this theory in mind.

The theory requires more fleshing out in terms of how Aberforth fits 
in but we are still waiting for 2 more books before we can unravel 
all of JKR's mysteries.
