Secca replies:
What I meant is this - The original, patriarchal saying referred to 
men only -- "7th son of a 7th son." Nothing anywhere about 7th 
daughter, as far as I know. So a slightly more PC version would 
be: "7th son of a 7th son OR 7th daughter of a 7th daughter." and 
the most PC version would be "7th child of a 7th child."

Secca Replies:
Umm -- What I am positing, is that she *did* say this. I believe 
Molly is the 7th daughter in her generation because of what Jo said 
in the aforementioned interview... Do you mean why has she never 
listed their names? Because it has, and may remain to be, 
unimportant to the storyline we are reading 'from Harry's POV'. We 
didn't know *Rons* eye color, or Patronus... except from 
interviews...

Well, that /would/ explain Cricket...

Secca Now adds:
It follows clearly, completely, and logically from the fact that 
Wizard!Math is Base(493) - because it is clear that I was completely 
joking, logically speaking that is [sid hoc procter ergo hoc].
