Heh heh heh.  I *knew* this sounded familiar.  I dug up #108438 at 
HPfGU, which said:

Well...actually.... I wrote this on a different HP list on July 1:

"I'm not buying it [someone else's theory that the HBP is Ron], but
it does add interest to the 'Weasley is our KING' song and Harry's
dream in OoP wherein Hermione & Ron were wearing crowns! Hmmmm--
wait a minute.... This could become R-rated. What if Ron &
Hermione conceive a child.... Couldn't their child be a half-blood
prince if it turns out the Weasleys are royalty?"

Admittedly, I was saying this somewhat tongue-in-cheek and hadn't
thought it out far enough to add the time-turning, but.... So if
you're wacko, Neri, I guess I am, too.
