So, in your mind, unbinding Ron was rescue enough?  He didn't need to
take him to the surface to be sure that he'd be able to breathe when the
1 hr had elapsed?  I guess my point was simply that the rescue of Ron
was incomplete at the time that Harry turned his attention to the other
hostages.  So, in the context of a slash argument, I would have thought
that Harry would *fully* rescue Ron before playing the noble hero.  This
is all simply in the context of the original thread, which is that Ron
was Harry's "thing he'd miss most," a point that was used in support of
H/R slash relationship.  I'm not arguing the point about turning to
Hermione first instead of Cho at this point.

Yep.  Hmm .... Ron was interested in Hermione in GoF.  Are you
concurring that Hermione is Ron's Ms. Wrong based on JKR's statements
then?  <vbg>
