Richard: 

Yeah, that is how I saw that as well.  A visual clue that, though Ron and Hermione are both behind Harry, Ron has some reservations.  But I do not think we are supposed to question Ron's bravery in facing the quest.  His issue is the fear that Hermione likes Harry, emphasized by Hermione holding Harry's hand as they look out over the landscape with Ron awkwardly removed.
