Personally, *I* think the reason that so much merchandise shows
Harry and Hermione but not Ron is that the WB marketting department
believes merchandise must have a picture of a boy for boys to buy it
and a picture of a girl for girls to buy it. Therefore, one boy (who
is the eponym of the whole thing!) and one girl.

I think it has to do with a deeper prejudices against people with red hair! 
(not to mention the pillow slips only have two sides)
