Why the Weasleys?

Hi everyone! Have you ever noticed that unfortunate things happened to the Weasley family? In the second book, Ginny was drawn into Tom Riddle's diary and was nearly killed. In the fifth movie, Mr. Weasley was nearly killed at the Ministry of Magic. In the middle of the series, JK Rowling was thinking about killing Ron but decided not to (thankfully). In the seventh book, Bill became a werewolf and George lost his ear. Also in the seventh book, Fred was murdered in the battle for Hogwarts. The only Weasleys that nothing happened to were Percy, Mrs. Weasley, and Charlie that I'm aware of. A lot of the time I end up feeling sorry for the Weasley family.
