Honeykissed:

You know, I have been thinking about the Weasleys as well.  I 
personally think one or more will die in book 7.  If you can 
remember, in the OoTP, chapter 9 "The woes of Mrs. Weasley", she was 
trying to get rid of a boggart and it kept turning into a "dead" 
member of her family:

(Pg 175, Am/UK ed.)
"Someone was cowering against the dark wall, her wand in her hand, 
her whole body shaking with sobs.  Sprawled on the dusty old carpet 
in a patch of moonlight, clearly dead, was Ron".

(Pg 175, Am/Uk ed.)
"Ron's body turned into Bill's, spread-eagle on his back, his eyes 
open and empty".

(Pg. 176, Am/Uk ed.)
Molly stated, "I see them d-d-dead all the time!" Mrs. Weasley 
moaned into his shoulder.  "All the t-t-time!  I d-d-dream about 
it....."

I hate feeling that this is going to happen, because I really like 
the Wealeys, but I believe that Ron will be one of the ones who 
dies.  I also think Percy may end up sacrificing hisself for the 
cause after he discovers that money, power and fame isn't 
everything.  This will be the time he needs his family. He has been 
so distant from his family in the last two books.  

I am preparing myself for what I believe is the "inevitable".
