One has to say that 'my' Weasley has only once or twice - at the beginning - given rise to thoughts of that sort of leverage. Luckily for him he caught on quickly and responded satisfactorily to correction - seemed pathetically grateful for the chance to serve, in fact.
From what I've heard you may find that 'your' Weasley does have a stubborn side and simply has the sense to suppress it in view of your, shall we say, candid style.
Should that moment arrive, however, when he vexes you to that degree, it would be preferable not to destroy the whole family. Even with Weasley Sr's heroic death now somewhat tarnished in light of Selwyn's subsequent actions, the rest of the clan have maintained a notoriety which would lead to problems if not handled with sensitivity. That said, there are, of course, ways to justify any action you deemed necessary.
The mother, of course, is a lost cause and always has been. My god-daughter has formed an inexplicable attachment to the youngest brother but nothing she could not overcome should his services be required. Had worried some years ago that my son was attracted to the sister but that turned out to be an attempt at subterfuge, which did not bear fruit as planned. So, no, provided disposing of one or another does not adversely affect the mission of Protectorate Affairs, feel free.
Threats, of course, are entirely acceptable - only be careful, if you would do, of what you might have to carry through to its conclusion.
