I, too, would not be surprised to see a Weasley or two culled in
book six. I can only hope it's Percy. Like most people, I'm fond
of the twins, despite the fact that they tend to do more harm than
good, and I do have some sympathy for the sometimes annoying Molly.
I can't decide if she would be relieved to die before her children
or need to be there to protect them in classic 'she-tiger-defending-
her-young' style. Bill & Charlie do seem to be the most disposable
Weasleys; where a death would wreak great havoc on the Weasley
family but not so much on the reader. On the other hand, disposing
of Sirius shows that Jo doesn't take that much into consideration,
so I am again worried for the Weasley parents.


Bookworm:
In one of her interviews JKR said there would be more deaths.  As 
many have said, theirs is such a large family it would be surprising 
for them all to survive.

The possible foreshadowing that sticks in my mind is the scene with 
Molly and the boggart in OoP.  While we/Harry was watching, Molly 
saw the "dead bodies" of every family member except Charlie
and Ginny.  Is Molly prescient and the boggart-bodies will die?  Or 
will it turn out to be the opposite and Charlie and Ginny are the 
ones to die?

Either way, one or two popular characters will go – Ginny and the 
twins are probably the closest to Harry after Ron.
