Random Weasley Fact Kills Another Theory

Sadly, I have to report that I believe the "Seventh son of the 
Seventh Son" theory (the one that would make Ron a seer) is most 
likely dead.  Alas, JKR reports that Arthur had only three 
brothers.  Unless there were three more dead Weasley brothers, I 
think that theory may be unsalvageable.  The Missing Weasley Child, 
while still alive, has lost a bit of canon now that Molly's terror 
at the Quidditch World Cup events can be explained by the fact that 
she's a Prewett.

Too bad, as I always liked my Imperius!Arthur with an extra dose of 
filicide.

On the other hand, JKR acknowledged the relationship between the 
Weasleys' name and weasels, waxing eloquent about her fondness for 
the "maligned" animal.  This simply confirms that she's up to date 
on her basilisk legends, which identify the weasel as the basilisk's 
one enemy.  According to legend, the weasel does not flinch from 
conflict with the basilisk, and when bitten, the weasel retires only 
temporarily, then returns with renewed strength to kill the 
basilisk.  Definitely no accident that Arthur was attacked by a 
snake.

She also states that the notion that redheads are unlucky 
is "nonsense".  So I think there's a pretty good chance that Arthur 
will become Minister of Magic after he finally defeats Lucius, his 
mortal enemy.
