Sarah:
>From everything I've been able to search (I'm no astrologer), 
unaspected Uranus seems concerned with individuality, rebelliousness, 
and an appreciation for aesthetics.  I'm not sure about the rest, but 
that last sounds like our Lavender.

I always thought it was just there as an opening for Ron to make his 
off-color joke about it.  Which I would add, he reprises in OOTP, but 
this time with Harry as the subject.

OOTP:
'Harry, we saw Uranus up close!' said Ron, still giggling feebly. 
'Get it, Harry? We saw Uranus - ha ha ha -'

Sarah:
Even Harry makes a form of it.

OOTP:
[Ron and Harry discuss not having to take Divination any longer]
'Yeah,' said Harry. 'No more pretending we care what happens when 
Jupiter and Uranus get too friendly.'

Sarah:
I think all the Uranus stuff is just a running joke.
