Carol responds:
I know this has been said before, but Harry apparently didn't enter
the room at the beginning of Molly's encounter with the boggart. He
happened to enter when it was most traumatic for him, with "dead Ron"
lying on the floor. It's entirely possible that the boggart had
already shown Ginny and Charlie but Harry didn't see them. As for Mrs.
Weasley herself, the boggart wouldn't have included her. Her greatest
fear is not of her own death but of the death of those she loves: her
husband, her children, and Harry.
Arthur and Ginny have already come close to death, so I tend to think
that one or more of the others will die instead. Maybe Charlie, whose
career places him in grave danger every day, in Book 6 and someone we
know better (and care about more deeply) in Book 7.
Not I think that these will be the only deaths in the books, but I'm
only talking about Weasleys here. IMO, one of the hands on the
Weasley's clock will point to Mortal Peril again, and soon.
