Bill Weasley's fate

[Justine]

I had a small epiphany the other day when I was brainstorming my 
feeble attempt at MWPP era fan fiction... can't understand why I've 
never made the connection before, since it's so obvious.  I almost 
wanted to call Bill "William Weasley" during the Sorting and 
realized how incredibly silly that was, since Ginny is most 
definitely not "Virginia."  Someone has probably pointed this out 
before, but I don't recall that it's been in the context in which 
I'm about to place it.  So, if we have dear Ronald Bilius Weasley 
and his beloved and quite cool older brother Bilius Weasley, and the 
history of their Uncle Bilius, should we worry about the lifespan of 
both?  I hate to say, as so many have before, that there's no way 
every Weasley will survive.  There are just too many for their own 
good.  

Justine,
who used to, horribly enough, believe that Charlie and George were 
expendable... but four deaths in one lovable family seems too harsh!
