Ooh, I love it! There is the possibility that in this AU the Weasleys didn't have another child, and instead fostered one. Although, since Ginny's only one year younger than Harry, and he was already a year old when we went AU, it would have to be a pretty tight squeeze to alter the events leading to Ginny's birth. Like, Molly was probably already pregnant with her by the time the Potters were killed, and would have had to miscarry due to stress or something. Also, Voldemort would have had to take power really soon after the death of the Potters, in order for a Muggleborn baby to even need rescuing within the time period that it could have been passed off as connected to Molly's pregnancy.
So, maybe not all that plausible. But it's an awesome thought.
