Debbie - What will Ron's job be when he leaves school?
JKR - Well, assuming he lives to leave school .........
I'm not going to tell you :)

Well I for one wouldn't buy an annuity if I were Ron.
Since a full scale war is now breaking out in the Wizarding world, I 
started thinking who might survive and who might not, and what 
possible criteria JKR might use to play God here. Since I do not have 
Rita Skeeterish abilities to hang out as a beetle in her officeand 
look over her shoulder as she types, I can only guess, of course, but 
i was really puzzled as to why Ron might die. I mean what sin has Ron 
ever committed? 

Then i thought about the 7 Deadly Sins .... and then it hit me --- an 
obvious "sin" since book 
1 -- gluttony. Throughout the series, JKR rarely misses an
opportunity 
to describes Rons eating excesses - most recently in the last chapter 
of OOP. In fact, chocolate frogs are nearing extinction due to his 
prodigious appetite.
In thinking of the 7 deadly sins, I then tried to figure which of the 
"good guys" either succumbed or was in danger of succumbing, and what 
their moral shortcomings were and I arrived at the following......

Pride - Gilderoy Lockhart (not dead but not all there either)
Greed - Ludo Bagman (i'd give 50 to 1 against his surviving)
Anger - Hagrid
Gluttony - Ron
Sloth - Mundungus (he just seems to be the definitive slothy type)
Envy - Fudge (envious of Dumbledore's power and prestige)
Lust - hmmmmm..... Bill Weasley and the EEEEEnglish lessons?

Only Cedric was truly innocent, and he died because he strayed across 
the path of the dark lord.....
Just a theory, but I wonder.........
