I suppose I will delurk any time Ron's name comes up in 
conversation...

Me too!

I guess that is why I have to delurk every time Ron's name is taken in 
vain!

Mo - I certainly relate to Hermione a bit - I was very smart as a girl 
and loved to read.  However, I do feel that I am actually more like 
Ron, so maybe your theory is correct.  I didn't have the utmost 
respect for teachers in school the way that Hermione does.   I was 
very laid back and a bit insecure.   I wasn't a blatant rule breaker, 
but I didn't mind doing it either.  Also, I always seemed to have 
friends who were either more well known, more popular, more successful 
with the boys, etc. I was the sidekick - not as glamorous, or as 
troubled, or as punk rock, or as pretty as most of my friends.  As a 
matter of fact, if I run into people from high school now, eventually 
they will ask, "how is so and so" because they always seem to 
associate me with someone else.  Sometimes I would get jealous, as Ron 
does, but I suppose that one of the reasons that I am so convinced 
that Ron will be a true friend is that those disagreements and spats 
never lasted very long and I still have those friends, 10 years after 
high school.  I have never felt jealousy so strongly as I did in high 
school, but now that I am grown up, I can look back on it with a bit 
of humor (and maybe smugness that in the long run I am glad that I 
didn't have the things that I was jealous for most of the time).
