Alla:

Are you sure that Weasleys would have understood? That is if 
Dumbledore would have told him the truth of why Ron died. Not - 
fighting the fight against Voldemort and his minions. **That** - I 
am pretty sure Weasleys would have been devastated, but understood. 
After all if parents joined that fight, they could hardly expect the 
kids to not learn their values and join the fight as well.

But if Ron would have died because Dumbledore wanted to teach Draco 
Malfoy who he is and whom he wants to become. That is why their 
child could have died.

I have my doubts about Weasleys being understanding.

I have even more doubts about Katie's parents being very 
understanding, whom we don't even know AFAIK where they stand at all.

So, if that was a calculated risk, IMHO Dumbledore took into 
equasion the lives of those he had no right to gamble with.

in my opinion of course,
