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.
