Now Me (Lauren):

JKR's written the whole page in the past tense. It even begins with 
the words, "Ron was the only one of three major characters whose 
surname never changed.....". She's talking about the history of the 
evolution of the characters.

I don't think that this is enough evidence to indicate the demise of 
the entire Weasley family, sorry!

love,
Lauren.
