Marianne:
I've always felt that, since there are a whole slew of Weasleys, some 
of them would have to be bumped off before the end of the series. Not 
that I dislike any of the Weasleys, but, if we are to feel the true 
horror of what the DEs mean to wizard society, we're going to have to 
have a bunch of deaths of characters we know fairly well.  Knocking 
off one biggie per book (Sirius in OoP and DD in HBP) isn't enough. 
And JKR did say she had to be "ruthless" in writing these books, 
didn't she?

In HBP there are IIRC several instances where we are told via one of 
the Trio or through the Daily Prophet that some relative of a Hogwarts 
students is killed.  It serves to remind us that the DEs are back in 
business, but doesn't really hit us with an emotional impact the way 
the death of say, George, would, because we don't see the impact on 
the main characters. I'd include the death of Emmeline Vance and the 
disappearance of Florean Fortescue in this category. When we hear of 
their fate we sit up and take notice, but, IMO, we are not hit with 
the same sort of shock and sorrow we'd be if it was a Weasley. 

One other thought - several listies including me expressed 
dissatisfaction with HBP in that there was no memorial, or mention of 
one, for Sirius.  Other people responded with how this was completely 
logical because such a gathering would be a danger to the Order as 
they would be convenient targets for an attack by the DEs.  I would 
suggest the same conditions exist for a Weasley wedding. However, now 
that 12GP is securely in Harry's possession, perhaps the wedding could 
be safely held in there, with Mrs. Black providing genteel commentary 
in the background...

Marianne, who's not really bloodthirsty but who expects several 
emotional wallops in Book 7
