GEO:Aside from them being raised in obscurity, there really isn't 
that much of a similarity between the Harry and Arthur. Really, 
Harry wasn't  conceived as a bastard with his father killing his 
mother's husband all in order to wed her. Nor does he have a half-
sister trying to kill him or a bastard son that he sired with 
another one of his half-sisters trying to overthrow him because he 
tried to kill him King Herod style. Simply said there isn't much 
resemblance between the two and any can be chalked up as both being 
hero archetypes.

GEO:I doubt it. Ginny is still a pretty minor character in the book 
and the next two books are probably going to focus on the war and 
less on the romantic aspirations of the characters.

GEO: Haven't you thought perhaps it's a reference to the fact that 
the Weasleys will win the position of the MoM sometime in the 
future ?
