Ah, but Sirius half-rose from his chair before that, in response to 
some provocation, and of course he bit the dust at the end of Book 5.  
I think that was probably the end of that scene's foretelling.

I know it would be so easy to off a Weasley... there are nine to choose 
from... but my own feeling is that JKR will keep them all alive, just 
because the people who die aren't usually the ones you expect.  And 
didn't Arthur and Molly lose relatives in the last war?  They're due 
for some karmic relief the second time around.

I'll make this prediction, though-- if one of the Weasley children 
*does* die, I think Molly will take the news in an exceptionally brave 
way that completely belies all her hysterics about her family's safety 
in the first six books.  It's hard on Molly to sit and worry and fear 
and anticipate awful things, but should the worst actually happen, 
we'll see how strong she really is.
