Okay, so this is a bit of a crackpot!theory, but I was thinking 
(yes, yes, my first mistake) about Molly Weasley's wonderful clock 
and how the entire family is marked as being in "mortal peril".  And 
it occurred to me that perhaps one of the Weasleys is a spy for 
Voldemort.  That would indeed put the other members of the family in 
mortal peril because the spy could be discovered at any time.  And 
then either the spy or the discoverer could be killed.  Which leads 
to the next question: Who's the spy?

Percy Weasley:  He seems the obvious choice as he's the outsider, 
but the thing is, he *really* is the outsider.  He's the only 
Weasley not in the Order AFAWK, and so therefore would be of little 
use to Voldemort.

Ginny Weasley:  What with her exposure to Voldemort in CoS she could 
well be the spy.  But JKR gushed on so enthusiastically about what a 
great girl she is for Harry.  Or could that have been a deliberate 
mislead?

Charlie Weasley: I think he's fairly easy to dismiss because he's 
never there.  Harry barely even knows him.  But, with the wedding 
coming up Charlie will be newly introduced.  So maybe he shouldn't 
be dismissed so casually.

Molly Weasley:  I don't think she's cunning enough to be a spy, 
frankly.  And Voldemort killed her two brothers, so it's personal 
for her.  However, what if Voldemort threatened her family?  Would 
Molly cave into that sort of pressure?

Arthur Weasley: He loves Muggles so darn much it's hard to see him 
buying into the Death Eater philosophy.  And he's got pretty strong 
principles so I'm not sure Voldemort could blackmail him. or could 
he?

Bill Weasley: He got attacked and nearly killed by Fenrir during the 
Hogwarts battle, and that should give him a pass.  *But* Fenrir is 
such a wild card that I'm not sure that gaurantees anything. 

Ron Weasley: He's the Weasley we know the best, and we saw plenty of 
him in HBP.  Frankly, I didn't see any hints of suspicious behaviour 
so I feel pretty good about giving Ron a pass.

Fred Weasley: He killed a small furry animal by bludgeoning it to 
death (shades of young Tom Riddle?).  And he very nearly killed a 
classmate with no signs of remorse.  He's the more ends driven twin 
and seemed fine with a little blackmail.  Would he be willing to go 
further in order to ensure his success?

George Weasley:  He also nearly killed a classmate and showed no 
signs of remorse.  He's the more personable twin, but does that 
suggest a more manipulative mind?

At this point, I'm leaning more towards the twins.  Isn't it strange 
that their U-No-Poo signs have gone unremarked on by the Death 
Eaters terrorizing Diagon Alley?  It could be both of them, but I 
think it'd be more bang-y if it was just one.  

Or, I could be crazy.  Thoughts?
