Well, I suppose I wasn't thinking of royalty in a literal sense.  I 
was thinking it was more metaphorical, such as Arthur would be 
the "king" of the halfbloods.  A king of the people, if you will...

The only reason I speculated Ron or Percy is because I believe that 
the two of them will play the biggest roles of the Weasley brothers.  
Ron, obviously important...  Percy will be, in my opinion, important 
because JKR has hinted that he very well may redeem himself 
(http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/MTarchives/004754.html) and we 
must keep in mind that the Sorting Hat put him in Gryffindor, 
contrary to how he has been acting thus far.  As far as I know, the 
Sorting Hat isn't wrong (Even Pettigrew, I think...  remember his 
debt to Harry).  Personally, I believe he'll come around in grand 
fashion.

Certainly.  From an online chat with Scholastic on World Book Day:
Q: Are the Muggle and Magical worlds ever going to be rejoined?
A: No, the breach was final, although as book six shows, the Muggles 
are noticing more and more odd happenings now that Voldemort's back.

All speculation of course...
