I see the Arthur Weasley and the Camalot connection differently.  In
some (i'm not gonna say all) stories about Arthur and Guenavere
(sp?),it has been said that Arthur KNEW he should not have married
her, because he was already married to his kingdom.  I see HP stories
incoporation of the Camelot connection as this:

Arthur (MoM)
Harry  (Lancealot) (sp?)... the guy who ultimatly saves the day.
Ginny   (Guen...)  the women who loves Lance(sp?)...

As we know from the story... Ginny can't marry her father, but, she
can marry her true love.. da ta da.. Harry.  But, JKR might kill off
good old harry.. so poor Ginny just might end up in a nunnery just
like old Queen Guenn.  sigh...

Tis true, Ginny is a pretty minor character.. and Harry doesn't seem
to run around thinking about her all the time.. so just cause she used
to be crazy about him.. doesn't mean it is going to go anywhere.. 

I just wanted to share my idea about Camelot and HP.  I guess I just
see it this way cause JKR alway changes her myths to suit her plot...
intertwining lots of well know stories and ledgends to create her own
little (very popular) world..
