Betsy Hp:
The one thing going against Charlie as the spy, IMO, is that he *is* 
so absent.  So the gut punch of a Weasley betrayal won't hit as hard.

Betsy Hp:
Heh.  Maybe just a little?  Seriously though, I really do think 
Molly is lacking in the cunning department.  (See her oh so subtle 
dig at Hermione in GoF.)  I think even if she *was* blackmailed by 
Voldemort she'd fall too completely apart to be of much use.

Betsy Hp:
And see?  I really like the idea of McGonagall being a Voldemort 
plant.  Why oh why do I want one of the good guys to turn out to be 
evil?  Maybe I think Harry's a bit too rash and stubborn in his 
lighting-fast assesments of people's character and so would like his 
world-view to get shaken up a bit.  It'd do the boy some good. <g>

As for the "gone round the twist" maverick fighter... Well, there's 
always Stubby Boardman.  Maybe Regulus *didn't* die.  (Of course 
that would blow the whole, "we know them and they're a woman" thing.)

Betsy Hp:
Agreed.  Honestly, for the bangy-ness, I think the ESE!Weasley would 
need to be a peer of Harry's.  Yup! That's where I'm going with 
this.  (If I can't have the mother, I'll take one of her lovely 
boys! Mwahaha.)

Betsy Hp:
Ahh, but you can't just dip your toe in the water.  The slope is 
*much* too slippery for that.  Oh yes, one of the twins is evil!

Seriously, it is incredibly weird to me that the twins have not been 
taken out.  They've practically put an engraved invitation on their 
door.  Plus there's that whole war profiteering wiff going on. (Did 
anybody else find their brand new jackets at Dumbledore's funeral a 
tad distasteful?) Everyone else is barely hanging on and they're 
thinking of expanding?  And isn't it interesting that they were in 
Hogsmeade while there was Death Eater work afoot.  Something fishy 
is definitely going on.

Betsy Hp, who's suddenly worried for Ron (maybe Percy will save him?)
