If there's already a topic for this then I'll ask for this to be to deleted and then add it to the existing topic. Anyway, I've seen a few ideas that change Ron in one way or another, most notably the thread by AJT where Ron decides to become Magical Director and all the insanity that can entail. But I've got some potentially more... serious (not Sirius, feh 
, ) ideas in mind.
First, what if Ginny, or maybe another Weasley, had been bitten by a werewolf before Hogwarts? If Ginny is the one bitten, I could see Ron and some, maybe all, of the other Weasleys, being much more protective of each other, especially Ginny, and their other friends but also more suspicious and/or critical of everyone around them except family. Such an incident in their past would probably make the Weasleys as a whole more wary of those around them, among other things. What about Bill or Charlie? They'd be gone by the time Harry went to Hogwarts, if they were even able to go to Hogwarts, but it likely would have left its mark on the family as a whole.
Another idea I had was to alter some of the eldest's choices. Like what effect would it have had on the Weasley clan if Charlie had gone into Professional Quidditch? Or if Bill was a fugitive, not necessarily for being a Death Eater; maybe he went to work for the Goblins and injured one and the wizarding world turned him over to Gringrotts to prevent another Goblin War. Or if Molly had gotten a job, maybe make baked food from home and sold at the local market? Or if the family had their own farm? Not too sure about some of the others.
Or what if one of the Weasley kids, or maybe one of the parents, had died sometime before Harry became aware of the wizarding world, maybe by a few years? What would it be like if Fred or George died sometime before or during Hogwarts?
What if you switched the genders of the Weasley kids, so that instead of six boys and one girl you've got six girls and one boy?
Just some assorted ideas I've had for a different assortment of Weasleys. Consider them as you will, their up for grabs as I'm not sure I've got much use for them.
