	They are also intelligent, loyal, and curious (if you think curiosity 
killed the CAT, you should see the kind of trouble weasels can get into 
through curiosity). Also note that weasels have been domesticated as 
long as cats and dogs, and are much more commonly kept as pets in Great 
Britain than in the States, so JKR is probably more familiar with them.

	I can definitely see Ron as a Weasley, in the good sense.
