Kneasy:
But he won't be the only one.
Seven kids in one family? And allies/supporters of young Potter?
Why so many? To allow for casualties while leaving enough to
perform the grieving family huddle afterwards, that's why.
Maybe Molly's Boggart was a foretaste of things to come with
disposable Weasleys scattered hither and yon cluttering up
the landscape.
In post 98443 I gave a brief rationale for who among the Weasleys
was most likely to end up on the wrong end of a green flash and
decided it would be Bill and the twins, with Ginny and Percy as
possible outsiders - though it would be fun if Ginny survived to
join the WHIPLASH establishment. (Which she probably will when
I get round to writing the TBAY.)

Kneasy:
No, she doesn't have half the dangerous allure of Bella. Bella is Circe,
Fleur is Britney Spears - no competition.
A few of us with vivid imaginations and no sense of shame have
speculated that Harry might fall victim to Bella's attractions (aided perhaps
by an Imperio! or two to allow him to salve his conscience afterwards).
Now that would be a fascinating addition to the plot arc! It'd neatly
round out his education, don't you think?
Not very likely of course, but if Harry comes to a gruesome end in book 7
it's only fair that he's allowed to have a taste of some of the more, erm,
interesting experiences of life, shall we say.
