I have two questions about the Weasleys (at least just
two right now).  

First of all, I have seen many people mention the
"missing" Weasley son.  I tried to find references to
this in the FAQs and by 
searching, but with no luck.  Could someone either
explain this or point me in the right direction?  

Also, I am currently re-reading OOtP and noticed the
discussion on Chapter 9.  Mrs. Weasley's boggart was
mentioned, but no one discussed the fact that it took
the shape of everyone in her family (and Harry) except
Charlie and Ginny.  I find it interesting that 
they were not shown.  Is she not as concerned about
them, or is there another reason?  It makes me more
likely to think that they would be the ones injured
(or killed) since JKR pointed us in the direction of 
the others.  Any thoughts on this?


Kathryn now:
I'm also interested in the other theories about the
missing Weasley child because in my scenario (which is
extensive and wouldn't mind explaining to anyone
interested offlist but it's really elaborate so I just
won't go there) the missing child was a daughter. As
far as the boggart scene, when Harry first hears Molly
screaming, he's still on the stairs, so even at a run
it would take him up to 15, 20 seconds to get to the
drawing room.  I guessed that she saw her missing
daughter (who I hypothesize was born between Charlie
and Percy) who was killed in the first Voldemort war,
then Ginny, Hermione, Charlie, and then Harry comes
in.  

Later this week if I get really bored I might type up
my entire theory...but it'll be really long and I
doubt anyone would read the whole thing...so we'll
see.
~Katie, who used to be Kathryn...but since there are
two other Kathryn's decided using a nickname would be
good:)
