Scarabsi:
Forgive me, but I wish to point out quickly that this person's suspicions about the Weasley's history with the OoP are risen from the strange behavior of the Order members, which is what caused them to have this theory in the first place (and I cannot say that the theory doesn't sound plausible, either).
On the other hand, there is nothing in any of the books that would even remotely suggest that Harry had ever been to Mars, and in fact the very build of his character makes it even less likely - Antisocial introvert Harry Potter, who shies away from his own somewhat-earned fame, do such a flashy and pointless action as Apparating into space, when he doesn't even like Apparating in the first place? This is without even going into whether Harry would know how to survive in space without a spacesuit and other details like that which are just taking the silly-bait.
I find that the comparison does not adequately explain why you would dismiss the mentioned possibility with the reason that you gave. Oh, I can likely guess what you meant, and it is a fair and sensible argument in itself. . . just not when it involves out-of-context intergalactic travels to Pigfarts.
Scarabsi, who had meant to make a short, quick post, honest.
