Well, if I may bring up the knight2king theory for those who are not 
familiar... 

To sum up the theory - the chess game at the end of SS/PS is a map 
of how the rest of the series will play out. Ron plays the knight, 
but, since he is controlling the game, acts as the king, as well. 
Because of this, the rest of the theory reads that Ron will somehow 
go back in time... and become Dumbledore. Canon evidence actually 
does exist - most recently the watch Ron was given in HBP, which is 
similar to the watch DD pulls out in SS/PS on Privet Drive. Also, 
JKR has confirmed Ron's eyes are blue, like Dumbledore's. Dumbledore 
also mentioned his scar on his knee that was an exact map of the 
London underground - a relic of his encounter with Padfoot, perhaps?

Obviously, in this case, Dumbledore's family and the Weasley family 
would be one in the same. Perhaps Ron and one of his brothers will 
actually go back, "creating" Aberforth. 

Also, in the rumors section of JKR's site, she said that Harry and 
Ron weren't any other character "from the future," not that Harry or 
Ron won't necessarily time travel back into the past.
