Magpie:
Last I looked, it wasn't karmic at all. Fred dies a hero killed by DEs
and George loses his brothers and an ear to same. For it to come
across as karma it has to be tied to their own actions and be ironic
in some way. It's not--they're just heroes. What they did to Montague
is not considered a bad thing at all as far as I can see. Even
everything that happened in HBP is dealt with with an off-hand, "Have
to talk to the Twins about who they're selling their products too."
Now that the series is over even that reads like a plot point, not a
lesson.
