smilingator:

I would like to know how ALL 7 of the Weasleys ended up in Gryffindor.
To have a family full of so many brave individuals... it makes me
wonder what's in their blood. 

It is apparent that there can be interbreeding between "human-like"
species (Hagrid being half giant, Fleur being part veela), but could
there be interbreeding with other creatures? Marcus Flint was
described as trollish, Madame Hooch as having eyes like an eagle. 

If so, then could it be possible that the Weasley's are part lion? In
CoS, Molly was described as looking like a "saber-tooth tiger" (I know
that is not the same thing as a lion). Other literary stories with
lions have dealt with bravery (The Cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz,
Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia). Perhaps this is why Percy ended up
in Gryffindor, even though he is highly ambitious. 

By the way, I think you should replace one of those "Percys" on your
list with Penelope Clearwater... he did seem to like her.

Just my thoughts...
