Well, I'm now straying even more dangerously far off Group Topic.

All the Ginger references stem from my own fanfiction. NOTE: this
particular story is suitable for ADULTS ONLY, especially those with
'slashy' tendencies.

The story begins with Harry being gravely ill, and the only thing he
can take in in great quantities is warm flat ginger ale, which by the
way does work well if you are sick.

That leads to Ron having ginger ale bottled by a British Ginger Ale
company using 'Harry Potter - Wizards Brew' labels. Ron then gave this
to Harry as a birthday present. Just a private label brand made
especially for them on an as needed basis. Remember, these guys are
rich, so little extravagance like this are no problem.

This leads to Harry and Ron trying to think of other things they can
do with the ginger syrup that the ginger ale is made from, which in
turn leads to Ginger Ice Cream. Then it cascades from there with them
coming up with more and more ginger products. 

To at least make an attempt to get this back on track, let me say that
I am just trying to illustrate that even though Harry doesn't appear
to have any business potential at the moment, that doesn't mean that
in the future he couldn't be of great value to Weasley Enterprises.

I really have a strong sense that Weasley Enterprises (as I call it)
is Harry's ace in the whole. When he is done Dark Wizard fighting and
struggling to find a way to make a living, the Twins will reveal that
they have made him a partner in the business. From that Harry will
have wealth and purpose to carry him through his long life.

I really have nothing to base this on other than intuition, and the
fact that Harry's gift/loan to the Twins hasn't been resolved in the
story yet. Like I said, I think JKR is holding this out as Harry's ace
in the hole; that loan to the Twins secures Harry's future.

Just a few, hopefully sufficiently on-topic, thoughts.
